Notes

'Pazzaz Vivid Yellow' purslane (Portulaca 'Pazzaz Vivid Yellow') 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 stays 4 to 8 inches tall and spreads 12 to 18 inches wide. Yellow flowers open in mid to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and butterflies visit them.

Pairs well with Lemon thyme, Munstead lavender, and Blue grama.
