Mojave® Red Portulaca | Proven Winners®

Rose-red blooms with a warm golden center and soft coral undertones.

Mojave® Red 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, oranges, or greens for contrast

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

The rose-red color leans slightly warm with a soft coral undertone, which keeps it from reading too dark or heavy in full sun. The golden center adds contrast so each bloom stays defined. It continues to flower without deadheading and handles heat, humidity, and dry conditions without slowing down.
