Lewisia cotyledon is a perennial flowering plant native to the western United States, particularly in rocky, mountainous regions. It belongs to the family Montiaceae and is known for its rosette of fleshy leaves and vibrant flowers that bloom in spring and early summer. The flowers can be pink, white, or yellow, attracting pollinators like bees. This plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun, making it a popular choice for rock gardens and alpine plantings. Lewisia cotyledon is drought-tolerant, which allows it to survive in dry conditions, and it is often appreciated for its ornamental value in landscaping.
