Lewisia
'Little Plum'
cliff maids
Lewisia 'Little Plum' is a charming semi-evergreen succulent that packs a punch despite its modest size. Growing to a height of just 10-15cm, this variety is perfect for adding a splash of colour to smaller spaces like rockeries, pots, or along the edges of borders. Its rosettes of succulent leaves form a neat base, from which the blooms-ranging from soft pink to rosy-orange-emerge in a delightful display. Lewisia 'Little Plum' offers a graceful yet vibrant addition to any garden, particularly in sun-drenched spots where its colours can really shine.
Not only is Lewisia 'Little Plum' a treat for the eyes, but it's also an easy-care gem. Thriving in well-drained soil, this succulent tolerates dry conditions and requires minimal maintenance. Its low-growing nature makes it ideal for planting in tricky areas like between paving stones or in containers where you want to add a bit of colour without overwhelming the space. The pink to rosy-orange blooms last for an extended period, ensuring your garden stays lively and bright. If you’re looking for a tough, yet stunning plant that effortlessly adds colour to your garden, Lewisia 'Little Plum' is the perfect choice for any gardener.
Our Lewisia 'Little Plum' plants are supplied as a 9cm pot with healthy growth, ensuring a strong start. They are carefully shipped in our unique cardboard box, designed to keep them safe and in top condition. This ensures they arrive healthy and ready to thrive in their new home.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
