Notes
'Mojave Mango' purslane (Portulaca oleracea 'Mojave Mango') is an annual for borders, containers, and rock gardens. It cannot take cold, and a freeze will end its season. This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows at a rapid rate and has an erect habit. Bees visit the blooms, and the plant tolerates drought well.
Pairs well with Melampodium, Double Zahara Fire zinnia, Rock soapwort, and Red fescue.
