Helleborus orientalis
Lenten Rose
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.

Water Saving Tip:
Give your sprinkler system a checkup when turning it on in the spring and occasionally during the summer.
Trim branches that are obstructing spray patterns and raise sprinklers that are too low for spray to clear the grass.
