Very pretty....I don't have much luck with Lewisia, think it's cos they need good drainage and don't like the wet?

I've decided to grow them in a terracotta planter with a compost and grit mix, pea shingle on top. Hope that works and they survive the winter. Shouldn't have bought them really without reading up on them first!!
