Harold Epstein admired this plant for its velvety, deep chocolate-purple new spring foliage on dark red stems. It appeared as a seedling in his garden from an apparent cross between E. g.'Yubae' and 'Silver Queen'. Large flowers have beautiful dark rose inner-sepals and white petals/spurs flushed rose. Small leaflets. 8" in bloom with second flush to 12". One of the first epimediums to emerge and bloom in spring.
