Notes
'Mojave Tangerine II' purslane (Portulaca oleracea 'Mojave Tangerine II') 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 upright at a rapid rate and tolerates drought. Bees visit the flowers, which appear in spring, summer, and autumn.
Pairs well with Melampodium, Rock soapwort, and Red fescue.
