Due to the brittle nature of the flower stems, we are unable to guarantee that the flowers will not be broken in transit.

Lewisia ‘Ashwood Carousel Hybrids’ are exclusive to Ashwood Nurseries. Whilst they are much smaller than other Lewisias, they have a prolonged flowering period and are less demanding in their requirements. They are truly weather resistant and require little maintenance. They are available in a wide range of colours from yellow, apricot and orange to salmon, pink and magenta. Their flowers are produced in great profusion from April to June, often with a second flush in late summer. They do not set seed. Their attractive evergreen foliage is held in rosettes. Height 10cm (4ins).

  • Planting: A well-drained soil or compost is essential, neutral to slightly acid if possible, with plenty of added grit. Add perlite to compost to improve drainage.
  • Aspect: Plant in a sunny, open position. Ideally should be protected from the sun during the hottest part of the day.
  • Care: Feed occasionally with a sequestered iron feed to help maintain compost acidity. Remove finished flower stalks to promote repeat flowering. Lewisias are susceptible to being overwatered. Avoid water sitting in the crown of the plant.

    Good quality plants, well packaged for delivery. I have purchased from them before. There was a day's delay in the most recent delivery. It would be good to have messages giving despatch and delivery information.
