Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A heavy bloomer with 1” pristine white blossoms a bit larger than average, this wonderful California native perennial bursts into bloom in May & June & continues on & off bloom till Fall. When not in bloom, the evergreen succulent foliage makes an attractive tight low rosette of spatulate leaves. Native to rocky outcroppings & canyon walls, Lewisia c. loves to be planted along the edge of rock gardens or tucked between stones where they make a delightful late Spring display. They do really well in clay pots, especially if you lay some gravel atop the soil. Fertilize once a year. To 5” tall & wide. Self sows.
