Notes
'ColorBlast Double Guava' purslane (Portulaca 'ColorBlast Double Guava') is an annual for containers, rock gardens, accents, and xeriscape. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun and dry to moist, sandy or clay soil. It grows 4 to 8 inches tall and spreads 12 to 18 inches. Coral blooms open in mid to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and butterflies visit them.
Pairs well with Lemon thyme, Blue grama, and Fountain grass.
