Epimedium x warleyense 'Orangekonigin' (Orange Queen Fairy Wings)
Part Sun to ShadeZone: 5-8, at least 20" tall Origin: Hybrid
This recent hybrid (E. alpinum x E. pinnatum ssp. colchicum) from master breeder, Ernst Pagels of Germany, is a much slower spreader than straight E. x warleyense. The flowers are also a lighter shade of orange as they top the clumps in late March and early April. From Zone 7 southward, expect the deer-resistant foliage to remain evergreen.
