With their perennial nature and early flowering, Lenten roses are very popular in the garden. When planting, you should keep these things in mind.
With the right care, you can enjoy Lenten roses for up to ten years. The pretty perennials, which are related to anemones and delphiniums as the buttercup plant, are considered very easy to care for. You can plant the Lenten rose basically all year round, as long as the ground is frost-free. Also note the following tips.

only works through division. The existing plant is dug up and the rhizomes are cut. These are best planted in the ground in autumn.
