Lewisia ‘SAFIRA® Tropic Pink’

Common Name:
Lewisia ‘SAFIRA Tropic Pink’

Description:
Lewisia ‘SAFIRA® Tropic Pink’ is a compact and vibrant perennial succulent celebrated for its vivid, tropical-inspired blooms and rosette-forming evergreen foliage. This variety produces an abundance of large, satiny pink flowers with warm coral and yellow highlights, forming dense clusters above fleshy, dark green leaves. Bred for excellent performance in containers and well-drained garden beds, ‘Tropic Pink’ adds a cheerful splash of colour to rockeries, small borders, and pots. It thrives in Melbourne's climate when planted in full morning sun or part shade, particularly where it is sheltered from intense afternoon heat and excess winter moisture. With proper drainage, it flowers from spring through early summer, and may reward with additional flushes in autumn. This low-growing variety is ideal for gardeners seeking colour, texture, and toughness in compact spaces.
