Notes
'Rose Queen' bishop's hat (Epimedium grandiflorum 'Rose Queen') is a perennial for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is evergreen and drought tolerant, and bees visit the flowers. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Plants spread 12 to 24 inches, so give them room to fill in.
Pairs well with Francee hosta, Paris coral bells, and Ruby Spice sweet pepperbush.
