Care
Lewisia CONSTANT™ ‘Fuchsia’ Care
Plant in full sun to partial sun for best flowering. In warmer climates, light 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 and rock gardens where excess moisture drains freely.
Water regularly during establishment, allowing soil to dry slightly between waterings. Once established, plants prefer moderate moisture but should not sit in wet soil.
If desired, apply a light application of slow release fertilizer in spring to support healthy growth and flowering.
Remove spent flower stems to maintain a tidy appearance and encourage continued blooming.
Container Growing Notes
When grown in containers, use a sharply draining potting mix and ensure drainage holes remain unobstructed. Container-grown plants require careful moisture monitoring to prevent saturation.
Plants hardy in the ground may require winter protection when grown in containers in colder zones.
