Care
Lewisia CONSTANT™ ‘Fuchsia’ Care
Plant in full sun to partial sun for best flowering. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can help protect foliage and extend bloom quality.
Excellent drainage is essential. Lewisia performs best in gritty, well-drained soil and is well suited to raised beds, rock gardens, and containers where excess moisture can drain freely.
Water regularly during establishment, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings. Once established, plants prefer moderate moisture but should never sit in wet soil.
Fertilization is rarely necessary. If desired, a light application of slow release fertilizer in spring can support healthy growth and flowering.
Remove spent flower stems to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage continued blooming.
