Soft as the petals of a rose blossom, Rosy Pink Lewisia opens in shades of pale, whitish-pink kissed with gentle blush. Native to the rocky slopes of western North America, it thrives in sharp drainage and cool spring weather, perfect for tucking into rock walls, gravel beds, and containers. Gardeners note: seeds germinate best after about a week of cold stratification in the fridge inside a damp paper towel.

Growing Guide

When to Grow

Set aside about a week before your spring sowing to stratify the seed — a damp paper towel in the fridge is all it takes, and germination is best afterward. Surface sow, then watch for seedlings in 14 to 21 days. Rosy Pink thrives in sharp drainage and cool spring weather, so place it in full sun with 8 to 10 inches between plants, whether that is a rock wall, a gravel bed, or a container. Plants reach maturity in roughly 80 to 90 days and are frost hardy as perennials in zones 3 through 8.
