Barrenwort Brightens Up Shady Spots.

Looking to enhance a shady area in your yard? Barrenwort (Epimedium spp.) is a great option! It blooms with delicate flowers in late spring to early summer — the unique, spider-like blooms are available in several different colors and are suspended from thin stems for a stunning visual. Heart or arrow-shaped foliage adds to the appeal. Bonus? These plants can tolerate dry soil and do well when planted under large trees. Barrenwort is hardy in Zones 4 – 9.
