Wedding Party® California Dreaming Lenten Rose Care The Wedding Party® California Dreaming Lenten Rose is happiest in either partial or full shade. It prefers damp or moist conditions, but can also tolerate some dry periods. It prefers rich and fertile soil, although it can cope with most soil types. Irrigate frequently after planting and for the first two growing seasons. Fertilize with a light application of a balanced slow-release feed in early spring, or add a thick layer of organic compost over the root zone.
