Yellow Barrenwort Frohnleiten 1 Live Plant – 1 Gallon Pot – Epimedium × perralchicum 'Frohnleiten'

Yellow Barrenwort (Epimedium × perralchicum 'Frohnleiten') is a shade-tolerant ornamental perennial valued for its delicate yellow spring flowers, attractive heart-shaped leaflets, and spreading groundcover habit. Also known as Frohnleiten Barrenwort or Bishop's Hat, this hybrid epimedium develops a dense carpet of foliage that provides texture and seasonal interest beneath trees, along shaded borders, and in woodland-style gardens.

During spring, slender flowering stems rise above the foliage and carry clusters of small, bright yellow flowers. New leaves often emerge with bronze or reddish tones before developing a rich green color. The foliage may acquire additional reddish or bronze coloration during cooler weather. In suitable climates, the leaves can remain evergreen or semi-evergreen, providing ornamental interest beyond the main growing season.

Yellow Barrenwort 'Frohnleiten' generally performs best in partial shade to full shade and humus-rich, well-drained soil. Once established, it can tolerate periods of relatively dry shade, making it useful in woodland gardens and beneath established trees. Its slowly spreading, rhizomatous growth habit also makes it suitable for shaded groundcover plantings and naturalistic perennial borders.

Botanical Name Clarification: The accepted horticultural spelling is Epimedium × perralchicum 'Frohnleiten'. The name Epimedium × perralchinum supplied in the product identification appears to be a spelling variation.

The plant is supplied as a young perennial rather than a fully established groundcover planting. Actual foliage density, leaf coloration, crown development, and overall appearance may vary according to nursery growth and seasonal conditions.

Yellow Barrenwort may be evergreen, semi-evergreen, or seasonally deciduous depending on winter temperatures. Plants may ship dormant, recently trimmed, with reduced foliage, or without flowers depending on the season. Flowering at the time of shipping is not guaranteed.

Plant Condition Disclosure:

Live plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.

Natural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.

You will receive a live starter plant (seedling/young plant). Listing photos show the plant at a mature stage for reference only. The actual plant size, shape, and appearance may vary and will be significantly smaller than the images shown.
