Lewisia Sunset Strain

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.

Regarded by Sunset Magazine as “great drought-tolerant plant,” this aptly-named strain provides a burst of sunset colors ranging from yellow, peach, salmon, orange and pink.
