Moondance Lenten Rose is a late winter-blooming evergreen perennial with marbled leathery dark green basal foliage that matures with light green veining by summer. Clusters of large nodding white flowers with a chartreuse blush in the center bloom from late winter into early spring. The petal backs may have hints of pink before they fade. Best bloom in dappled sun and moist well-drained soils. All parts of the plant are toxic if ingested.
