Growing Information:
Grow Happy Hour Mix Portulaca in full sun for the heaviest flowering and strongest growth. Plants thrive in well-drained soils and perform exceptionally well in sandy, rocky, or nutrient-poor conditions. Sow seeds on the soil surface and gently press into place, as light promotes germination. Maintain temperatures between 70-80°F during germination, which usually occurs within 7-14 days. Once established, plants require minimal watering and are highly tolerant of drought and heat.
