Coffee spot this morning! Love the dappled sun on the white of the cupflowers and the bright orange of the Lewisia! 🧡🤍🧡 #lewisia #cupflower #rockery #white #orange #shingle #terracotta #gardenart

Looks fab Dan, is the Lewisia in the ground and how much sun does it get where it is?? Mine aren’t doing too well, about 3yrs old and struggling now.

Hey Hun. So yes it’s in the ground but in a small terracotta pot without the bottom on it, it’s in with plants that will over take so I tried to protect the roots as much as possible. It gets full sun for about 3/4 hours of the day, then dappled like this. It’s pretty protected behind a fence which I think helps. I never had much luck in the old garden, but this one is 3 years old now and doing great! @sieveheadsarah
