Portulaca 'Yellow'

In our opinion, moss roses are under-utilized in the summer garden, and on what seems to be more frequent 85-plus degree days, these absolutely shine. Drought tolerant once established, this portulaca maintains its good looks with very little effort. Water thoroughly when dry, then leave it until it dries out again. No need to fertilize and in fact, too much fertilizer may encourage foliar growth and decrease the number of blooms. The rose-like flowers open with the sun and close at sunset, remaining fresh throughout the summer. Removing spent flowers will keep the plants tidy, and may prolong the blooming period.
