This distinctive perennial brings fresh interest to shady areas with its sharply toothed, lance-shaped leaves that emerge in bronze tones before deepening to glossy green. In mid to late spring, wiry stems carry sprays of soft yellow, long-spurred flowers that appear alongside the new foliage, creating a lively contrast of colour and texture.

The plant forms a low, spreading clump that works well as ground cover under shrubs or in woodland-style borders. Epimedium ‘Spine Tingler’ thrives humus-rich, well-drained soil and holds its foliage for much of the year, making it a dependable choice for dry shade or lightly dappled spots.
