Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Lewisia seeds benefit from stratification, a process that mimics natural winter conditions. Place the seeds in a damp paper towel inside a plastic bag and refrigerate for 4-6 weeks before planting.

Sowing:

Sow the prepared seeds in early spring or late summer for best results.

Choose a well-drained location with sandy or rocky soil. Press the seeds lightly into the soil surface.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination, which can take 2-4 weeks.

Maintain a temperature of around 60-70°F (15-21°C) for optimal germination.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them into their final growing positions.

Space plants 6-8 inches apart to allow for adequate airflow and growth.

Care and Maintenance:

Provide regular waterings, particularly during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.

Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding.

Mulch around plants to help retain moisture and suppress weed growth.

Protect plants from excessive moisture during winter to prevent rot.

Happy Gardening!
