Description
Lewisia longipetala 'Little Raspberry' (Bitterroot) is a treasured rock garden perennial with fleshy rosettes of evergreen leaves. If it’s time to up your game with water saving plants, give beautiful Lewisia a try! Good drainage and lean soil is a must for Lewisia, so tuck them into rock walls or the edge of a rock garden where you can enjoy the flowers. Plant ‘Little Raspberry’ on a slope or rocky area where it can help with erosion control, anchoring the soil beneath it. 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. 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.

A western species potentially useful in the east
"Neat little species for rock gardens, blooms fairly long"
A real pop of color
"Photos have no editing or filters, the color really is just that stunning. They don't rebloom later in the year though and are super small, great plant for rock/crevice gardens, don't see it having much use elsewhere though."
Hoping will ""take"" and be happy in its location
"First time trying this one. . . hoping will ""take"" in a rocky, dry space. It is taking awhile to settle in. We are handwatering. . . only time will tell. We had another plant (platinum sage) bought locally last year and is planted close by which also we did not know if it would ""take"" and thrive and this plant is doing wonderfully this year, so fingers crossed for the little raspberry lewisia"
beautiful plant
"I grew this plant in another yard with a rock over the roots to keep them cool. I've also read that it grows in dry places, but the roots find water. In this yard, the gophers are a threat, so I have kept it in a pot. I thought it wouldn't last long, but now it's early spring, and I see it's still going strong."
