This well-known species exists in many varieties, some with rather lurid colours. All have rosettes of fleshy leaves, and can in time form large mounds, from which many stems emerge, each with many flowers. They are best grown in a position where water cannot reside in the rosettes in winter.
Lewisia cotyledon is a cultivated strain that retains the normal wild colouring of pale pink with a deep pink stripe.
