Lewisias are found in the subalpine regions of CA where the soil is rocky, making them perfectly suited for a well-drained rock garden. This evergreen perennial grows from a rosette of fleshy foliage and produces spectacular funnel-shaped flowers that emerge from 10” stems. The flowers also attract hummingbirds.

The better drainage, the happier they are. Prefers light shade but can tolerate full sun. Water it regularly (but sparingly) to enjoy a long period of successive blooms from spring through summer.

Elise Ruby Red is a single colored Lewisia that reblooms throughout the spring and summer, clusters of dark pink flowers first appear in late spring.
