This is believed to be a cross between E. grandiflora and E. pinnatum subsp. colchicum which was found in 1999 in the garden of Judy Springer of Virginia. The pink sepals are accented by recurving red spurs which in turn are tipped with a yellow cup. The new foliage of Epimedium x versicolor 'Cherry Tart' emerges burgundy before it turns green. In the autumn, the leaves take on burgundy tones again.
