I keep telling people that lewisias are lovely plants to grow around the garden but the little plants in little pots with few flowers as is often seen in garden centres does not do them justice. When bigger, they flower in abundance and not always once, but twice or more during the growing season. They are hardy, suffering the iciest of winters, and are happy growing in terracotta pots with a gritty growing medium. I understand they originate from the sunnier states of North America, so I place my pots in the sunniest part of my garden.
