Little Plum Bitterroot Lewisia Longipetala Qt

'Little Plum' lewisia (Lewisia longipetala) is a native perennial often used to add a splash of vibrant color to rock gardens. Its gorgeous tropical pink flowers and glossy green foliage are marvelous to look at, and we love seeing this pretty perennial paired with other drought-tolerant perennials in a sunny window box.

Lewisia is a tropical choice for those gardening in dry, fast-draining, gravelly soils. Also known as bitterroot, it is a rock garden favorite for attracting pollinators. Its compact and strong root systems can help prevent erosion, making it an excellent choice for people gardening alongside slopes.
