The Story
Lewisia cotyledon - Sunset Strain
Lewisia cotyledon ‘Sunset Strain’ forms a charming evergreen rosette of fleshy, spoon-shaped foliage just 6–8" tall (15–20 cm) that spreads about 8–12" wide (20–30 cm). From late spring into early fall (May through fall), it blooms in stunning sunset hues—apricot, salmon, pink, peach, yellow and even white—on slender 6" stems. Ideal for rock gardens, containers, or crevice planting, it thrives in sharply draining, gritty soil, prefers full sun or morning sun with afternoon shade, and benefits from drought-like dry conditions once established. A Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit winner, it's hardy from Zone 4-9.
