Lewisia - Characteristics

Characteristics

Lewisias are perennial alpine plants native to western North American. They produce rosette-shaped flowers that may be one of a range of different colours. Lewisia cotyledon grow up to 0.5 metres (1.6 ft) in height and width.

Most species of Lewisia are deciduous, including the original Lewisia rediviva; Lewisia longipetala is the only semi-deciduous species. Some species, such as Lewisia cotyledon, are evergreen.
