The Story
Striking nearly black blooms brighten winter gardens
If you're looking to add a touch of drama to your winter landscape, this Lenten Rose from the Winter Jewels® series offers a unique combination of beauty and resilience. Onyx Odyssey features captivating nearly black double flowers that showcase striking yellow stamens, creating a stunning contrast in late winter and early spring when many other plants are still dormant. This eye-catching perennial stands out in any garden and makes a perfect conversation piece in shaded borders or woodland plantings.
In addition to its dramatic blooms, Onyx Odyssey is an excellent choice for shade-loving gardens. Its large, semi-evergreen to evergreen foliage adds texture and depth throughout the year while providing graceful greenery even during the heat of summer. This hardy perennial can withstand occasional dry spells but performs best with consistent moisture for optimal health and appearance, making it a dependable and elegant addition to low-maintenance garden spaces.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives partial to full shade, ideally with well-draining soil. Dig a hole that allows for sufficient root space and place the plant, ensuring the crown is level with the soil surface.
2. Watering: Once established, Onyx Odyssey is fairly drought-tolerant. However, regular watering during dry spells is beneficial, especially in the first year. Water deeply to encourage root growth, allowing the top inch of the soil to dry out between waterings.
3. Pruning: Prune off any dead or damaged leaves in late winter before flowering begins. After the blooms fade, you may also trim spent flowers to tidy the plant, but avoid cutting back foliage until it starts to yellow.
4. Fertilizing: A light application of balanced, slow-release fertilizer in spring can promote healthy growth. If the soil is particularly poor, consider amending it with organic matter to boost nutrient levels.
