Lenten Rose are wonderful additions to the shade garden or naturalized woodland garden. With their dark, thick, evergreen foliage, they look fantastic in and out of bloom.

They are easy to grow in average soil and are tolerant of drought once established. A long-lived perennial, Lenten Rose resists pests, deer, and rabbits. Old foliage can be cut back in late winter before new flowers emerge. Poisonous.
