Lewisia Tweedyi Rosea

One of the most exquisite of all alpine plants, and definitely the king of lewisias, these plants can flower at any time right into the 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. Very few fertile seeds are produced and these are collected individually.
