Care & maintenance

Lenten Roses are exceptionally easy to grow. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring as new growth emerges. Remove old, tattered foliage in late winter or early spring just before new flower stalks appear to improve air circulation and showcase the blooms. Division is rarely needed but can be done in early fall. Mulch annually to maintain soil moisture and suppress weeds.
