Nectarine-orange blooms with a warm golden center.

Mojave® Tangerine II 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 yellows, reds, or greens for contrast

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

The nectarine-orange tone reads warmer and slightly deeper than a true tangerine, giving it more presence in a planting without turning dull. The golden center keeps each bloom defined. It holds that color in full sun and continues blooming without deadheading, even in heat and dry conditions.
