Hardiness: fully hardy (borderline)
Pretty, pendent or outward-facing, saucer-shaped, white or greenish-cream flowers from February to April and leathery, deep green leaves. The petals of these lovely Lenten roses become pinker with age. Attractive ground cover plants for areas of dappled shade under deciduous trees and shrubs, they prefer a heavy, neutral to alkaline soil.
Unfortunately we can't guarantee what colour you get but the flowers are available in a fantastic colour range, either white, pink or red.
Garden care: Add lots of well-rotted leaf mould or organic matter to the planting hole. Apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted organic matter around the base of the plant in autumn and provide a top-dressing of general fertiliser each spring.
