Lewisia (Lewisia Cotyledon Sunset Strain) - One of the prettiest flowers you will find, this perennial flowering plant is also extremely hardy, long blooming and low maintenance. This above image from perennials.com illustrates how beautiful this flower is. Lewisia will typically begin blooming in May and continue to put on a display of flower clusters clear in to early Fall. Flower colors range from apricot, light pink, dark pink, pale tangerine, and light yellow.
These blooming clusters are held atop sturdy six inch stems of the Lewisia plant. The one inch flowers are held in radiating clusters above an attractive succulent five inch green rosette that develops into a considerable mound with time. Lewisia plants are deeply tap-rooted so they do not require a lot of water. Lewisia benefits from some dryness, so all you have to do is plant them in a clay pot with some gravel added or stick them in the cracks of a rock wall or enjoy them in a well-drained rock garden.
