Enhanced Flowering Strength and Early-Season Performance

Organifer Lenten Rose Liquid Fertiliser supports vigorous flowering and resilient early-season growth in Helleborus orientalis, widely known as the Lenten rose. This long-lived perennial thrives in shaded and semi-shaded gardens, producing elegant nodding blooms in late winter and early spring. The balanced 3-4-3 organic formulation promotes strong bud formation, supports colourful, long-lasting flowers, and reinforces the plant’s ability to deliver a striking display during the coldest part of the year.

Improved Root Vitality and Enhanced Nutrient Uptake

The Lenten rose performs best in humus-rich, moisture-retentive soils. This liquid fertiliser enhances substrate structure while amino acids stimulate root initiation and increase nutrient mobility, supporting deep root development essential for overwintering and seasonal regrowth. Strong roots help the plant maintain stable performance across varying temperatures and moisture levels, ensuring reliable flowering year after year.

Richer Flower Colours and Improved Bloom Longevity

Cultivated Lenten rose varieties display an extraordinary range of colours—from white, green, and pink to deep maroon, purple, and speckled forms. The potassium-focused formulation intensifies pigment development and supports firm flower structure, creating more vibrant, longer-lasting blooms. Amino acids enhance metabolic activity, contributing to strong petal formation and sustained ornamental quality throughout the early spring flowering window.

Enhanced Winter Resilience and Early-Spring Recovery

Lenten roses are among the earliest perennials to bloom, often pushing through snow and frozen soil. Organifer Lenten Rose Liquid Fertiliser strengthens winter resilience by supporting robust cell structure and improved water regulation, helping plants withstand frost, fluctuating temperatures, and late cold spells. The balanced 3-4-3 formulation provides gentle, steady nutrition without overstimulating growth in cold conditions. Amino acids further support recovery from winter stress, allowing plants to transition smoothly into spring growth with renewed energy and strong floral display.

Superior Soil Support for Humus-Rich, Shaded Environments

Helleborus orientalis thrives in woodland-style soils rich in organic material. This liquid fertiliser optimises these conditions by improving soil fertility, boosting microbial activity, and enhancing nutrient availability in cooler, shaded areas where nutrient uptake can be slower. The formulation encourages stable root anchoring and healthy evergreen foliage even under tree cover. With regular feeding, Lenten roses produce more vigorous clumps, better bloom consistency, and improved long-term garden presence, whether used in mixed borders, shade plantings, or naturalised landscapes.

Dosage

Number of applications: 3–5
Start: At early growth
Repeat: Every 3–4 weeks
Foliar spraying: 3–6 ml per 1 litre of water
Fertigation: 1–2 ml per 1 litre of water
Standard dose: 4–8 L per ha

Provide partial shade or dappled light, as Lenten roses dislike direct sun. Maintain evenly moist but well-drained soil. Mulch to keep roots cool and stable throughout the year. Remove old leaves in late winter to reduce disease pressure and support new growth. Ensure adequate calcium and magnesium to strengthen stems and flowers. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which suppresses flowering and creates soft growth.

Storage

When stored under stable, frost-free conditions and protected from direct sunlight, this liquid fertiliser maintains its quality for an extended period. Closed containers preserve the formulation effectively, while any diluted solution should be used promptly to ensure optimal performance and purity.
