Feed the plant starting in the spring using a balanced fertilizer. Amending or top dressing the soil with organic compost is another option to promote healthy growth. Remove dead or damaged growth at any time. Wedding Party® Wedding Crasher Lenten Rose Spacing This plant will be about 18 to 24 inches wide and tall.
