Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Lewisia 'Constant Comment' is a hardy evergreen succulent with short stems that support numerous large flowers of glowing rose-pink above the compact rosettes. It is a reblooming hybrid that is more container tolerant than other species and can flower three to four times each year from late spring to fall. A native of alpine regions, Lewisia require good drainage and enjoy full to part sun. Plant them in containers, rock gardens, and in the crevices of retaining walls. Deer resistant.
