Portulaca grows well in sandy soil and craves full sun for 6 or more hours per day. It appreciates neutral soil pH. It is not at all demanding in terms of water needs or feeding requirements. It stays tidy and well-shaped on its own, requiring no trimming.

Portulaca Colorblast Double Guava is a real show-stopper, with blooms that have yellow petals and “stand-out” centers of magenta. Blooms appear throughout the year when this plant is grown in the right climate, or when it is kept as a houseplant. Foliage is succulent and fleshy, tolerating heat well and never looking tired and droopy. Let this heavy bloomer trail from hanging baskets or spread out along the ground. But do not let pets sample it, as it is unhealthy for them to ingest. This vibrant Portulaca is a fast grower, ready to fill your hanging basket, patio container, or garden bed with double blooms that are short on neither color nor tropical flair.
