No, the name is not a typo or brain cramp. I verified the tag this morning. I obtained this Epimedium from Plant Delights Nursery; it's a Darrell Probst hybrid. Current hardiness info is based only on my experience in my own garden.

The flowers on this variety are more showy than many Epimediums: a bright mauve-pink on the outer petals and a bright light yellow on the inner petals. It also seems more floriferous than most (except for 'Sulphureum' (spelling?). I have this plant in part-to-full shade, but in my area, lots of plants tolerate or even require more shade than in other parts of the country.
