These are seedlings from a seed strain introduced in 1994. The resultant plants often have semi-double flowers which range in color from salmon to orange to pink. The plants in our garden grow in a modified rockery with sharp drainage. We use an inch or so of gravel mulch around the crowns of the plants. In this way, we have grown these plants for many years and are rewarded each spring with brillant flowers in loose panicles above the rosettes of fleshy, tongue-shaped leaves. Lewisia cotyledon `Praline' seedlings are also excellent plants for containers. Do not overwater or overfeed them.
