Notes
'Happy Hour Rosita' purslane (Portulaca 'Happy Hour Rosita') is an annual for containers, rock gardens, and xeriscape beds. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. 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, so it works well as a low accent. Rose flowers open in mid to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Lemon thyme, Blue grama, and Blue star creeper.
