  FEATURES

  Need more plants that can tolerate extreme heat and drought? Try the Mojave^® series of Portulaca. With large, vividly colored flowers that pollinators adore, they bloom non-stop from spring until frost. Mojave^® Fuchsia shines with large, vivid fuchsia blossoms that don’t fade in the heat and attract pollinating bees and butterflies. Like others in the series, they are self-cleaning so they won’t need to be deadheaded to keep on blooming. The plant has a mounded trailing shape that doesn’t become flat and open on top as it matures, so it delivers a stellar garden performance all season.
