A top-dressing of gravel around the plant keeps the leaves and crown dry. Heavy clay should be avoided, or replaced with a raised, rocky planting pocket. Water to establish, then let it dry between drinks. The plant may rest in the heat of midsummer; keep it dry then. Deadhead after the spring flowers to encourage the fall round. Wet, not cold, is the winter danger. A sloped or vertical site, or a container that drains freely, helps it through the spring thaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHistory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jelitto Perennial Seeds in Germany introduced 'Little Snowberry' in 2018 as part of its Little Series of \u003cem\u003eLewisia longipetala\u003c\/em\u003e hybrids.
