Description

The noticeably long-stalked leaves of this plant are usually divided into leafleats, and are decorated with large flowers, born singly or in clusters. The Lenten-rose should be planted in good soil with a generous amount of organic material added. It should be fed only once or twice every year, and should not be moved very often due to its slow re-establishment.
