Epimedium pubigerum ‘Orangekönigin’ (Orange Queen) - 2026

Epimedium pubigerum ‘Orangekönigin’ (Orange Queen) is a compact, evergreen perennial forming a dense mound of divided, heart-shaped foliage that is tinted red in spring and turns green through summer before taking on bronze to reddish tones in autumn. In mid to late spring, airy sprays of small flowers—featuring coppery-orange sepals and pale yellow petals—dance above the foliage, creating a charming, delicate display. The plant is slow-growing but long-lived, making an excellent groundcover for shaded or woodland-style plantings. It is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and resistant to deer and rabbits, offering ornamental interest through all seasons.

Thriving in partial to full shade with moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil, Epimedium pubigerum ‘Orangekönigin’ benefits from cutting back or removing old foliage in late winter or early spring to reveal fresh new growth and enhance display. Hardy, adaptable, and easy to grow, it is well-suited for borders, rockeries, underplanting shrubs, or dry-shade areas.
