Mojave® Yellow Portulaca | Proven Winners®

Golden-yellow blooms with a soft warm center.

Mojave® Yellow 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

A warm, low-growing spiller that holds its color through heat and drought.

• 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 reds, oranges, or greens for contrast

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

The golden-yellow color sits warmer than a standard bright yellow, giving it a fuller, more grounded look in plantings instead of reading sharp or pale. It stays consistent in full sun and keeps blooming without deadheading, even through heat and dry conditions.
