Mojave® Mango Portulaca

Mango-orange blooms with a deeper red-orange ring around a golden center.

Mojave® Mango Purslane is a sun-loving annual grown for its large, saturated flowers and trailing habit, bringing steady color and coverage to containers, edges, and garden beds.

What You'll Use It For

• Filling containers with trailing color
• Softening edges of pots, baskets, and beds
• Mass planting for a low, flowering groundcover
• Adding color to hot, dry areas
• Pairing with purples, reds, or greens for contrast

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

The mango-orange color sits between orange and gold, with a distinct red-orange ring that gives each bloom a clear center instead of a flat wash of color. It holds that tone well in full sun and keeps blooming without deadheading, even in heat and dry conditions.
