Lewisia Rainbow mix
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 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. Perfect for a rock garden or in a pot.
The flowers of ‘Rainbow Mix’ vary wildly in color and sometimes include semi-doubles. Expect to see blooms of purple, pink, yellow, orange, white, or any mix of these colors.
