Lewisia Tweedyi Alba

This is the very rare form of one of the most exquisite of all alpine plants, these gorgeous specimens opening large pure ivory-white flowers in April and May above fleshy evergreen leaves. Mature plants can flower at any time right into the late autumn. They are surprisingly bone-hardy with frost, but prefer to be kept in a pot in the alpine house or on a window sill, or grown on a sheltered scree bed or trough in the garden. They always prefer a rich well drained soil where the crown can be kept dry. Just a very few individual fertile seeds are collected each year which come 100% true white.
