It easily naturalizes in moist, woodland areas and will spread easily if given room. Potted plants can be brought indoors and forced into bloom for winter and holiday decorations.

Christmas Rose is a wonderful additions to the shade garden or naturalized woodland garden. With its dark, thick, evergreen foliage it look fantastic in and out of bloom. Flowers dry on the plants, sometimes persisting for months. It is easy to grow in average soil and is tolerant of drought once established. A long lived perennial, Christmas Rose resists pests, deer and rabbits. A premium shade perennial.
