Epimedium x omeiense 'Rigoletto'
(a.k.a 'Akane') If you're looking for a plant for dry shade, this spring-blooming variety is definitely the right choice for you! Flowers have deep rose red sepals, orange centers, and creamy white spurs. Bright green, lance-shaped leaves are lightly spotted with coppery red, but is not as heavily flecked as other varieties, such as 'Pretty in Pink'. A naturally occurring cross between E. acuminatum and E. fangii discovered by Mikinori Ogisu. Deer resistant. Attracts pollinators.  14-16". Z5-8.
