This reliable specimen features some of the largest blossoms I have ever witnessed on a barrenwort. Its herbaceous leaves form a compact sward of heart-shaped foliage, while its clustered, wine-red blooms offer an eye-catching show through April and May. ‘Red Beauty’ tolerates drought well, so it’s perfect under dense tree canopies in woodland settings.
