What an amazing fairy wing! Epimedium 'Spring Sunrise' is a 2024 Plant Delights/JLBG introduction, that forms a Y-U-G-E evergreen clump to 32" tall x 50" wide when in flower. The long green leaves are heavily mottled purple toward the center, which fades as the growth matures. The Epimedium wushanense parentage is evident by the long, horizontally held, branched flower spikes that exceed 15" long. Each flower is composed of light yellow outer spur, a darker yellow inner spur, and a faint touch of brown around the cup as you'd experience by not wiping your lips after a chocolate treat. Epimedium 'Spring Sunrise' is sure to be a standout in the spring garden. For us, peak flower is early April, but the secondary branching results in flowers well into late May.
