Mega Pazzaz™ Red Portulaca | Creekside Champions™

Tomato-red blooms with a warm mango-yellow center.

Mega Pazzaz™ 'Red' Portulaca is a sun-loving annual grown for its large, saturated flowers and spreading habit, bringing steady color and coverage to containers, hanging baskets, and garden beds.

What You'll Use It For

• Filling containers with low, spreading color
• Softening edges of pots and raised beds
• Mass planting for a dense, flowering groundcover
• Adding color to hot, dry areas where other plants struggle
• Pairing with yellows, oranges, or greens for contrast

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

The tomato-red color reads warm and slightly orange-based, which keeps it from looking flat or overly dark, especially in full sun. The golden center adds contrast and keeps each bloom defined. As a Creekside Champion™, it's selected for handling heat, dry conditions, and continuing to bloom while filling in evenly.
