LEWISIA COTYLEDON 'LECHNER'

I am beginning to love Lewisias and would not mind having a collection.  They are such interesting plants with their glorious colours.  Lewisia Cotyledon 'Lechner' is yet another that I discovered at the Royal Horticultural Society gardens in Harlow Carr last week.  It's a strong rose colour that demands attention. 






 


I bought Lewisia tweedyi 'Rosea' a little while ago and last June bought Lewisia Cotyledon 'Special Mix'.  Both are different in colour and flower to 'Lechner' although 'Special Mix' seems to have the same flowering habit; multiple heads on spindly stems.   They are simply beautiful.
