Walberton's Rosemary is a standout Lenten rose, opening clear rose-pink flowers in late winter and carrying them in quantity for weeks into spring. The blooms face outward rather than nodding, above tidy, evergreen foliage about knee height.

Site it in shade to part shade with decent drainage, ideally where you pass daily in February, when it's the main event. Once established it handles dry shade under trees, and deer never touch it. Trim ratty old foliage as buds emerge for a cleaner show.
