Epimedium plant named ‘Conalba’

Abstract

A new Epimedium hybrida cultivar is provided that displays a low-growing clumping growth habit. The new cultivar flowers in April and May and forms attractive white blossoms that commonly are borne above the foliage. The plant is well suited for providing distinctive ornamentation when grown in containers, in rock gardens, or as a ground cover. Attractive light green deciduous leaflets are formed. The plant grows well in full sun to moderate shade. During observations to date the new variety has been found to be readily amenable to asexual propagation by division.
