Lewisia longipetala 'Little Raspberry' (Bitterroot) packs a punch of pure raspberry color in late spring, and again during late summer, feeding bees and butterflies. Plus, songbirds love its seeds. Spectacular in flower, long-lived, and unique, this resilient native cultivar thrives in fast-draining gravelly sites and low fertility soil. With its compact form and bright blooms, ‘Little Raspberry’ will wake up rock or alpine gardens, xeriscapes, sidewalk gardens, and containers.
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).

If it’s time to up your game with water saving plants, give beautiful Lewisia a try!
