Native perennial plants are all the rage, and the demand for water-wise, easy-care succulents shows no sign of letting up. Or maybe you're into flowering houseplants. These sizzling sales categories meet beautifully in the genus Lewisia.

Like other American phenomena, Lewisia found fame overseas sooner than here at home. It is celebrated in Europe not just as a sturdy garden inhabitant, but also as a low-maintenance flowering house plant.

Rosette-shaped flowers appear in spring through early summer and are available in a range of colors. This perennial alpine native, commonly known as Bitterroot, is often used in rock gardens and containers with good drainage.

Let's take a look at three of our faves.
