Happy Trails™ Mixture Portulaca Seed

Item #HSC-POR-001-PKT

Double moss rose in a bright mix.

Low, spreading plants reach up to 18" wide and spill over the edges of pots and raised beds. The double blooms span yellow, white, rose, pink, orange, fuchsia, deep red and a striped peppermint.

A succulent-like annual that thrives in heat and sun and shrugs off dry spells. Blooms fold up at dusk and reopen when the sun is out; the blooms are edible. Also called moss rose.

Flowers about 65–80 days from sowing, on plants 5–9" tall. Open-pollinated.

Growing Information

Days to germination

About 3–5 days, held at 71–79°F (22–26°C).

Starting indoors

Recommended. Allow 4–6 weeks for small plug cells (128–288) or 6–8 weeks for larger cells and pots. Hold the seed in place with a thin dusting of vermiculite but leave it partly uncovered, since it needs light. Keep the surface moist; after germination grow at 65–76°F (18–24°C). Harden off and plant out once frost is past.

Direct sowing

Only once soil is 75°F (23°C) or warmer.

Plant spacing

8–12" in beds; about 3 plants per 10–12" pot.

Soil

Average, well-drained soil. Takes poor, dry ground and high heat; go easy on water.
