5' wide in 5 years under ideal conditions

Epimedium wushanense Royal Dress Bouvardia the rough leaf backEpimedium 'Royal Dress' is a selection of the running form of the Chinese Epimedium wushanense. The large, elongated, ruffled and spiny foliage emerges a glossy rich chocolate brown. It serves as a lovely foil for the horizontally held stalks of bicolor flowers, consisting of creamy spurs and a medium yellow cup. This 10" tall clone is a fast spreading groundcover to 4' wide, so allow enough room in the garden.
