Ivory Prince Lenten Rose is a late winter-blooming evergreen perennial with glossy dark blue green basal foliage. Clusters of burgundy buds open to small nodding creamy white flowers that earn tones of chartreuse on the inside of the petals and soft pink on the outside bloom on red stems from late winter to mid spring. Best bloom in dappled sun and moist well-drained soils. All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
