‘Coral’ and ‘Fuchsia’
Terra Nova Nurseries' sneak peek of two new Lewisia Constant
The Constant collection is unlike other lewisia collections because the varieties are constantly blooming and are excellent survivors in average greenhouse and nursery cultivation. They have low fertilizer needs and are easy to grow in gardens or containers given good drainage and full sun. From plug to a 4”-pot, the finish time is between 6-8 weeks. These lewisia are very successful from tissue culture and contain clumping habits.
Lewisia Constant ‘Coral’
Lewisia Constant ‘Coral’ consists of exquisite, coral-pink flowers that bloom continuously from spring to fall. This lewisia contains hardiness zones of 4-8 and thrives in pots and soil, making it ideal for a garden or container. With its beach-themed name and color; foliage height of 4”; foliage spread of 10”; and flower height of 8”; this lewisia would look great in beachside landscapes or anywhere bright color is needed.
Lewisia Constant ‘Fuchsia’
Lewisia Constant ‘Fuchsia’ is a fitting plant for Valentine’s Day. Its stunning, fuchsia-pink flowers would flourish and display beautifully in a container and then rebloom several times during the summer. ‘Fuchsia’ also has hardiness zones of 4-8; a foliage height of 4”; foliage spread of 10”; and flower height of 8”.
