Adored for its incredibly floriferous bloom, long blooming season, and robust growth, Rome in Red Lenten Rose is another fine selection from breeder Hans Hansen. From late winter to mid-spring, it features abundant, large (3-4″ diameter), saucer-shaped flowers in maroon to wine red shades. As the flowers age, they take on a pewter color. The petals surround contrasting bright stamens. Nectar-rich, the flowers offer emerging winter bees an essential food source when not much else is blooming in the garden. The flower stems rise above leathery, rich green evergreen foliage that is deer and rabbit-resistant. Virtually problem-free and exceptionally long-lived, this delightful hardy flowering wonder thrives in partially to fully shaded garden beds, even under the canopies of large trees, as well as in container gardens for situating on patios, porches, decks, and around other outdoor sitting and living spaces.
