The Lenten Rose

My mother-in-law has been growing Lenten Roses in her garden for decades and I have always loved them, but she is in Zone 5 and has more varieties at her disposal. I was finally able to find a Zone 4 plant in a color I liked, so I planted this one three years ago. This is the first spring it has bloomed since planting. The deep purple color is stunning!
