Epimedium 'Rose Queen' Pieris japonica 'Polar Passion' These ground cover plants willUnlike the tougher evergreen varieties, Epimedium Rose Queen is a deciduous grandiflorum cultivar, completely dropping its leaves to vanish underground during the winter. When it wakes up, it pushes out a highly saturated, aggressive crimson pink floral display over fresh green foliage tinged with copper. Position the delicate roots very shallowly in a shaded border highly enriched with broken down organic matter, keeping the soil reliably damp.
