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

Lewisia cotyledon Ashwood Strain is the one of the most renowned of our plant introductions. As a result of careful selection and hand-pollination, these evergreen perennials are prized for their fine displays of flowers. They come in a wide range of vibrant colours including yellow, white, pink, magenta, red, orange and apricot.

  • 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.

  • WILLIAM F Verified Buyer

    Always totally reliable. Plants look good too!
  • Clare K Verified Buyer
    I am delighted with my new, rare, miniature Abies Koreana plant, from Aswood Nurseries, which arrived securely packaged and with plant care details enclosed. The overnight carrier provided a good service and advised me of a short delay in the delivery. The nursery notified me on the availability of my plant, via email and having made my purchase, which was very straight forward, I requested a delayed dispatch date to coincide with my return from holiday, which was observed. I am a returning customer and can always be sure that I will receive a reliable service from this specialist nursery. One happy customer.
