Columbia Lewisia is an attractive wildflower which may be used in the rock garden. It is a succulent perennial with a thick, well branched, fleshy root with numerous leaves at its base. Flowers can be white with pink venation to magenta-rose. It is best suited for dry conditions, but can survive for several years in west side gardens if given sufficient ventilation or provided with cover to protect it from the rain.

Protecting the trees and other vegetation that what we currently have is perhaps the most important way to ensure biodiversity in cities.
Despite the urban character and the high population density, a surprising diversity of life exists in Capitol Hill. Explore a few physical aspects of our urban ecosystems and meet some of its more-than-human residents.
Nature of Your Neighborhood is a collaboration between Birds Connect Seattle, the Capitol Hill EcoDistrict, and the Seattle Bird Conservation Partnership. Our goal is to foster relationships between the people and the nature of their neighborhoods.
