Lewisia cotyledon

Highlights

Lewisia cotyledon: Common names Siskiyou lewisia and cliff maids. Evergreen perennial forms dark green rosettes. Blooms spring and summer. Assorted color blooms - white, pink, red, orange.

Lewisia need plenty of outdoor sunlight to thrive. They love especially gritty, well-draining soils and pots with drainage holes. They tend to be slow growers and can tolerate long droughts by going dormant in hot summers. Their showy, vibrant blooms can last from mid spring to early fall. They are incredibly frost hardy and will happily thrive through winter under an insulating blanket of snow. Protect from heavy rains and standing water in winter to prevent rot.
