Named after explorer Merriweather Lewis who first came across it in 1806. It is native to north facing cliffs and rocky outcroppings in North America. Native Americans used its root for medicinal purposes. It does well in rock gardens as that mimics its natural habitat.

Love the design in the center. No wonder it caught Lewis' eye.
Great color and outstanding information.
Your floral knowledge is amazing. You must have been a "flower child."

It's a beautiful plant and flower. Wonder if it does well in zone 4 here in Iowa? Lovely capture.
