Lewisia longipetala 'Lil raspberry'
A compact, long-blooming perennial with genetics native to the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. This alpine plant thrives in well-drained, gritty soil and full sun to partial shade. Ideal for rock gardens, containers, or crevices. Drought-tolerant once established, it requires excellent drainage to prevent rot.
In flowers, raspberry describes a rich, saturated pink-red that carries both brightness and depth. It sits between hot pink and crimson, with a slightly cool undertone that recalls the juice of ripe raspberries. Unlike a true red, raspberry has a softer, more playful quality, while still being more intense and striking than pastel pinks.
Hardy to USDA zones 3–8.
