Heavy clay is a problem; amend it heavily with gravel or grow the plant in a raised bed or pot. A collar of stone chips around the rosette keeps water from sitting where it can cause rot. Water to get it established, then let it dry out between waterings. It may take a short summer rest. Snip off old flower stems after the first flush to keep it tidy and encourage fall bloom. Winter wet is a bigger threat than winter cold. A sloped or vertical site helps it come through a Canadian spring thaw in good shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e 'Little Peach' belongs to the Little Series from Jelitto Perennial Seeds in Germany, one of its first lewisia introductions alongside 'Little Plum' and 'Little Mango'. All are \u003cem\u003eLewisia longipetala\u003c\/em\u003e hybrids of garden origin, and the genus carries the name of explorer Meriwether Lewis.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinal Thoughts:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wet feet are its only deal breaker, so give it gravel and good drainage. Treat it right and it comes back for a second date.
