About this plant

Perfect for adding a touch of elegance to shady garden nooks, Epimedium 'Pink Champagne' boasts striking, mottled foliage throughout the growing season. The heart-shaped leaves emerge with a captivating bronze blush in spring, maturing to a rich green with distinctive reddish-brown markings. In mid to late spring, a profusion of charming, star-shaped flowers appear on slender stems. These exquisite blooms feature a delicate blend of soft pink sepals and deeper rose petals, creating a 'champagne' effect that lives up to its name. This robust perennial forms a graceful, weed-suppressing clump, making it an excellent choice for a refined groundcover or an accent plant in a woodland garden. Its long-lasting beauty and minimal care requirements make it a true garden gem.

Care & maintenance

Easily grown in partial to full shade with well-drained soil. Prefers consistently moist conditions but is quite tolerant of drier periods once established. Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth appears for a tidier look and to promote fresh, vibrant leaves.
