Lewisia cotyledon 'Sunset Strain' (Bitterroot) has evergreen succulent spoon-shaped leaves that grow several inches long while upright stems support the sprays of inch-wide colorful flowers. Winner of Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit. If it’s time to up your game with water saving plants, give beautiful Lewisia a try! Pollinator favorites and deer resistant, these hardy plants are long-lived when happy. Native to the rocky slopes of western North America, Lewisia is a resilient native perennial that thrives in fast-draining gravelly sites and low fertility soil. Great for rock walls, rock or alpine gardens, hillsides, or a rocky area where erosion control is needed. Plant Lewisia in full sun or morning sun and afternoon shade. Good drainage and lean soil are the keys to success with these plants, but water when flowering. Thanks to its compact form, it makes a lovely container plant too, just be sure to keep the soil lean and use a gravel mulch. Plant it with Aubrieta, Sedum, Sempervivum, and compact Penstemon.
