#ProPlantTips For Care
Clump-forming Frohnleiten Barrenwort thrives in growing zones 5 through 8 where it prefers well-drained soils, that are organic and fertile. Frohnleiten Barrenwort grows 8-12" tall and about as wide and does amazingly in partially shaded sites.
In warmer climates, Barrenwort can be semi-evergreen and they do better in full shade locations that have consistent moisture. Once established, Barrenwort are drought tolerant and does well in dry shade as long as supplemental watering is provided during extended periods.
A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill. Barrenwort also appreciates some protection from cold, drying northern winds in winter to prevent leaf burn.
Prune back in late winter to tidy up the plant and give it a fresh look. Otherwise, Frohnleiten Barrenwort is low maintenance, pest and disease-free, and also nearly deer and rabbit proof!
