Grandiflora Happy Hour Peppermint Portulaca Seeds

Grandiflora Happy Hour Peppermint Portulaca is a dazzling moss rose variety that produces large, fully open blooms featuring vibrant pink petals striped and splashed with bright white, creating a festive peppermint-candy appearance. The oversized flowers open wide in sunny weather and cover the succulent foliage with cheerful color throughout the hottest months of summer. Its heat tolerance, drought resistance, and nonstop flowering make it an outstanding choice for containers, hanging baskets, borders, rock gardens, and xeriscape plantings.

Garden Uses:
Grandiflora Happy Hour Peppermint Portulaca is ideal for containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, borders, rock gardens, raised beds, and drought-tolerant landscapes. The bright peppermint-striped flowers pair beautifully with blue lobelia, silver dusty miller, lantana, verbena, and ornamental grasses. Its low-growing, spreading habit makes it especially useful for edging pathways, filling gaps between stones, and spilling over container edges.

Growing Information:
Grow Grandiflora Happy Hour Peppermint Portulaca in full sun for maximum flowering and best color development. Plants thrive in poor to average, well-drained soil and perform exceptionally well in hot, dry conditions. Sow seeds on the soil surface and press gently into place, as light aids germination. Maintain temperatures of 70-80°F during germination, which usually occurs within 7-14 days. Avoid overwatering, as portulaca prefers slightly dry conditions once established.
