Notes
'ColorBlast Double Watermelon Punch' purslane (Portulaca 'ColorBlast Double Watermelon Punch') is an annual for containers, rock gardens, and xeriscape beds. It is tender to cold, and the first hard frost will kill it. 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. Pink double blooms appear in mid to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Lemon thyme, Blue grama, and Blue star creeper.
