Elise Golden Yellow Lewisia (Lewisia cotyledon 'Elise Golden Yellow')
Elise Golden Yellow Lewisia brings a bright, sunlit burst of golden blooms to rock gardens and containers when the season is just getting going. Its evergreen rosette stays neat and polished, giving you structure even when flowers are between flushes. This is a compact plant that fits into tight spaces, yet it still delivers a surprisingly generous show in spring and often again into summer. If you want bold color in a small footprint with a refined, alpine look, this lewisia is an easy win.
Distinctive Features
Lewisia cotyledon 'Elise Golden Yellow' forms flat rosettes of fleshy, deep green leaves and sends up short stems topped with golden yellow, open flowers that stand clearly above the foliage. Bloom is strongest in spring and can continue or repeat into summer when conditions stay favorable, especially with good drainage and careful watering. The evergreen rosette provides year-round texture in milder winters and keeps containers looking finished even outside peak bloom. The key to success is avoiding winter wet around the crown, which helps the plant stay healthy and long-lived.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Full sun to part shade, with afternoon shade helpful in hot climates.
- Soil: Gritty, sharply well-drained soil, and avoid sites that stay wet in winter.
- Water: Medium to low, keep lightly moist during active growth, then allow the mix to dry slightly between waterings.
- USDA Zones: 3 to 8.
- Mature Size: About 4 to 6 inches tall and 6 to 10 inches wide.
- Notable Traits: Evergreen rosettes, first-year flowering in the Elise series, and strong performance in rock gardens and pots with sharp drainage.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use Elise Golden Yellow Lewisia as a focal point in a trough or rock garden pocket where the golden blooms can sit at eye level and glow against stone.
- Rock Gardens: Perfect for crevices, slopes, and gritty beds where water drains quickly.
- Containers: A strong choice for pots and troughs where you can control drainage and keep the crown drier.
- Edging: Adds a crisp, low rosette line along paths and bed fronts in sunny, well-drained sites.
- Alpine-Style Plantings: Pairs naturally with low sedums, saxifrages, and other compact sun lovers.
Low Maintenance Care
- Drainage First: Plant in gritty mix and keep the crown slightly proud of the soil to reduce rot risk.
- Watering: Water at the base and avoid saturating the rosette, especially in cool weather.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flower stems to keep the plant tidy and encourage additional bloom.
- Winter Wet Protection: In cold, wet climates, use sharp drainage and consider a sheltered spot to keep the crown drier.
- Feeding: Feed lightly in spring, because heavy fertility can reduce the compact, alpine form.
Why Choose Elise Golden Yellow Lewisia?
- Golden Spring Color: Bright yellow flowers bring a clean, cheerful highlight early in the season.
- Compact Footprint: Fits small spaces while still delivering a strong bloom display.
- Evergreen Structure: Neat rosettes keep containers and rock gardens looking finished beyond bloom.
- Container Friendly: Performs especially well in pots where drainage is easy to control.
- Design Versatility: Works as a refined accent in alpine, modern, and cottage-style plantings alike.
If you want big color in a small, polished plant, Elise Golden Yellow Lewisia is a smart pick for sunny, well-drained spots. Give it gritty soil, keep winter moisture off the crown, and it will reward you with a bright spring display and tidy evergreen texture. Use it in troughs, rock pockets, or the front of a sharp-draining border for the best long-term performance. With simple deadheading and careful watering, it stays compact, clean, and reliably eye-catching.

Top Notch!
Format: Hardcover
A lot of the time when your reading SW books your imagination doesn't quite fill in the gaps that the author leaves. A lot of SW books have little to no detail because they are movie or game based. This is where the top notch illiustrations took this story line to a whole new level! Richardson does a great job on developping the main character. I was very impressed with the quality of the story and blown away with the illustrations. Great read for all!

Great saga!
Format: Kindle
I love this series! It is beautifully painted, has good dialogue, and has a very compelling narrative. I cannot help but like the protagonist, Kir Kanos. He is brave, unselfish, noble, determined, and deadly. Even if his primary goal is to exact vengeance for the killing of the truly evil Palpatine, I cannot help but cheer for him. This is truly a compelling read that refuses to be put down.

Just an OK read
Format: Kindle
I was not aware when I purchased this that it was a Graphic Novel, I really wish that in the blurb about these products it was made very clear that you are buying a Graphic Novel. I like reading, not viewing the written word. Since I got this via Kindle there was no shipping issues. Maybe the Graphic Novels should have their own category, so that we don't end up with things we don't want.

"Thus die all traitors."
Format: Hardcover
At a grand 504 pages, this big book covers the Crimson Empire series in its entirety. Containing the first, second, and third mini-series as well as Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil, Dark Horse Extra #21-24 "Hard Currency", and Dark Horse Presents #1 "Third Time Pays for All". While some of these stories truly pale in comparison to the original series, they all still form a big story that is collected in this book. Slightly smaller than a regular TPB, this hardcover edition looks nice with a dustjacket (although mine was very off-center) but utilizes a glued binding on this thick book so you lose a bit to gutter loss.
The first story in the book is the classic Crimson Empire series. The six-issue series is collected here in full with a truly timeless story by Randy Stradley and Mike Richardson. Paul Gulacy did the awesome art within the issues. The writing and art work well together with the vibration of the blades to the movie-like, choreographed 12-page fight scene between Kanos and Jax at the end. A truly epic tale with lots of action and mystery that made you feel like you were watching another Star Wars movie but condensed into six issues of a comic book! This alone is worth the purchase price but you get even more stories after this!
Bounty Hunters: Kenix Kil follows the Crimson Empire in a tale following Kir Kanos after the end of the Crimson Empire series and was the third issue in the Bounty Hunters series. Kir becomes the bounty hunter Kenix Kil to move through a bounty hunter-filled planet and get what he needs and get out alive! Javier Saltares did the penciling while Randy Stradley reprised his role for the story. The story's short but tells a bit more about Kir and his journey. The drawings, while not as good as the first series, look good enough to get the story across.
Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood is next directly following the first series as Kir Kanos, as Kenix Kil, continues his quest to destroy what's left of the traitorous Imperial leaders. However, the return of an old friend side-tracks his quest and brings him to an even bigger journey! The old writing team of Mike Richardson and Randy Stradley return in this story as well as the original artist Paul Gulacy. The art's great and the story, though a bit dense, works well. There isn't quite as much action this time around but the story's just as good. The Zanzibar creatures are one of the creepiest things you'll ever see in a Star Wars comic, too!
Next up is the very short four-part comic entitled Hard Currency that appeared in Dark Horse Extra #21-24. The comic is written by Randy Stradley so you know the writing's done well but the art is by Isaas Buckminister Owens and is one God-awful mess. The characters are horribly out of proportion and it looks extremely cartoony. It's very, very short with only a few pages but even if you get past the art, the comic reads like a calendar with the book turned on its side. So, the whole process of reading this out of a 500+ page book is just annoying. I know they probably couldn't print it any other way but it's still inconvenient. However, what you get is a neat story wrapping up the fate of a character that has ran through the first two series and a bit more about Kir's alter ego Kenix Kil. Unlisted, the book appears to start with the third main series but actually contains an 8-page prequel comic that originally appeared in Dark Horse Presents #1 entitled The Third Time Pays for All. The writing has Randy Stradley again and, thankfully, Paul Gulacy on art duty (although his other works here were better). Once again, a short glimpse into the life of (a newly outfitted) Kenix Kil on a bounty-hunting mission while he reminisces about his past run-ins with Mirith Sinn.
Mike, Randy and Paul continue their work with the Crimson Empire III: Empire Lost where Kir Kanos rejoins Mirith Sinn one last time to thwart an Imperial thug from destroying the New Republic and the New Empire in one fell swoop! Leia, Luke, Han, and Chewie appear in this tale as well as Boba Fett to round out a classic cast. The art's great, once again, and the writing, while probably my least favorite of the series, is still pretty good with an epic fight between Kir and Devian. At the end of the book, we get the Crimson Empire Handbook entries on some of the characters as well as a few more covers to gawk at. While this hardcover book looks really nice, Dark Horse still fails to make a truly great edition for this series through the book itself. The contents are great but the small size and lack of comic covers are disappointing. Sadly, that's just how Dark Horse releases their hardcovers and TPBs. But, if you're looking to read the Crimson Empire books, this is the one to get!

Who doesn't love the Dark Father
Format: Kindle
Nice art work and an interesting story. We get to see what Vader was up too just after the Death Star was destroyed. We also see how the Emperor liked to play people off against each other especially against Vader.
