Lewisia 'Little Plum'

Highlights

Lewisia x longipetala 'Little Plum': A long leafed hybrid with purplish, orange flowers. This plant maintains the jade green rosette of its Lewisia parent as well as the clumping nature. It differs from this parent though by having much longer and more erect leaves. Expect blooms in the spring.

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.
