  • 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® Tangerine shines with large, saturated orange 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 all season.
