Create a hotbed of long-lasting, tropical color in hot, dry garden spots with Sundial Mix, one of the most vibrantly-hued collections of blooms you will ever see! These 2-inch flowers are fully double and exquisitely formed, nestled above the succulent foliage like shrub Roses.
These low-growing, tough plants are very floriferous, beginning their bloom season earlier than other Rose Mosses and remaining colorful through the worst summer heat and drought. The blooms stay open longer in the day than other Portulacas as well, giving you more glorious tropical color! Just 6 inches tall, these plants spread an incredible 14 to 16 inches in the sunny garden, and are perfect for filling containers to overflowing with small, needle-like foliage and masses of great blooms.

Transplanting: Transplant when there are at least two sets of true leaves
Spacing: Plant out 12-24 inches apart in full sun and a sandy, dry, well-drained soil
Lighting: Grow on under long days (11 hours or more) and full sun to induce flowering
Additional Care: Water plants to establish them, otherwise grow on the dry side. Very tolerant of heat and drought and will readily self-sow around the garden
