Color Name: Pazzaz Purple
This durable and colorful flowering succulent blooms all summer long in bright shades of purple without deadheading. Pazzaz Purple Portulaca is a heavy blooming annual that is well suited for landscape plantings, hanging baskets, window boxes, and as the spiller in mixed containers. The vivid blooms are a welcome sight especially in hot summer when they really come into their own. Portulaca is a great choice for poor, drier soils.
Growing Tips: The flowers of Portulaca will close at night and reopen the next day. They will tolerate dry soils, although they will perform optimally with average moisture. These are tough plants that will tolerate poor soils and do not need a lot of fertilizer to perform well. Deadheading is not needed.
