Lewisia Elise Mix Seeds: A Rainbow of Rockery Elegance

Introducing the Lewisia Elise Mix, an award-winning perennial celebrated for its dazzling array of colors and its ability to bloom in the first year. This mix includes shades of pink, rose, salmon, orange, white, yellow, and bicolours, making it a spectacular addition to any garden, particularly suited for pots, containers, and rockeries.

Why Plant Lewisia Elise Mix?

  • šŸŒˆ Vibrant Colour Palette: Enjoy a full spectrum of colors that can brighten up any garden space with their natural beauty and variety.

  • šŸŒø Extended Blooming Season: Lewisia Elise is known for its long flowering period, beginning just 4-5 months after sowing and continuing in flushes throughout the season.

  • šŸ† Award-Winning Variety: Known for its robust growth and prolific blooming, this mix has earned accolades for its performance and visual appeal.

Optimal Growing Conditions:

  • Sowing Time: Best planted in winter or spring, allowing for the establishment and development ahead of the summer blooming period.

  • Sow Depth: Tiny seeds should be sown shallowly, just 1mm deep, to ensure they are not buried too deep for effective germination.

  • Spacing: Plants should be spaced about 60cm apart. This allows each plant enough space to mature and spread without overcrowding, which can inhibit growth.

Garden Uses and Design Ideas:

  • Rockeries and Alpine Gardens: Lewisiaā€™s compact size and tolerance for rocky, well-draining soils make it ideal for rock gardens and alpine settings.

  • Containers and Pots: Its mounding habit and vibrant blooms make it a perfect candidate for container gardening, where it can be displayed on patios, balconies, or decking areas.

  • Front of Border: The short stature of Lewisia makes it suitable for planting at the front of flower beds, where its colors can be appreciated up close.

Care Tips:

  • Watering: Requires well-drained soil, especially in containers, to prevent root rot. Water moderately but allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

  • Feeding: A balanced, slow-release fertilizer applied at the beginning of the growing season can encourage vigorous growth and abundant flowering.

  • Winter Care: While Lewisia is perennial, it benefits from protection against extreme cold and wet conditions in winter, especially in cooler climates.

Experience the Delightful Diversity of Lewisia Elise Mix:

Lewisia Elise Mix not only adds a splash of color to your garden but also brings a unique charm with its varied and prolonged blooming. Whether nestled in a rockery or featured in a container, this Lewisia mix promises a display that will captivate and enchant throughout the season.
