$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Epimedium grandiflorum ‘Queen Esta’ bears elegant, star-shaped flowers in rose-pink to lavender tones, highlighted by slender spurs that extend outward from each bloom. The blossoms rise above heart-shaped foliage that emerges with bronze and copper shading before maturing to deep green, forming a refined, layered groundcover.

Blooming in mid to late spring, this cultivar originates from garden selections of Asian species. It is well suited to woodland gardens, shaded borders, and underplanting beneath trees and shrubs, where its graceful flowers and handsome foliage provide lasting texture and soft seasonal color through the spring months.
