Lewisiopsis tweedyi 'Alba'
The white version of the stunning Wenatchee mountain rockrose! Such a cool show stopping plant for the rock garden, or pot culture. The huge white flowers, in late spring/early summer are often followed by a fall repeat. The succulent leaves are a dark green and showy even out of season. Forms a large taproot and should be given a deep root run, with a well draining soil and topdressing to protect from rotting at the crown.
Very old plants that develop a large root crown are very prone to rot and that has given this plant a reputation for difficulty, a narrow crevice or pot solves this problem by restricting the mass and also keeping moist soil from sitting near the crown. These can help keep this plant happy for many years.
