A showy succulent plant, this Lewisia is ideal for the rock garden. Rosettes grow to 8" wide. Flowers appear on the ends of the many 2-12” stems and are candy-stripped pink. Very hardy and easy to grow, Lewisia grows in sand and gravel in full sun at mid- to high elevations along the Pacific Northwest, doing especially well on the drier, eastern side of the Cascades, USDA 4-8. |
