Sundial Mango Portulaca is a vibrant moss rose variety that produces large, tropical-colored blooms in rich shades of mango orange, golden apricot, and warm sunset tones. Part of the popular Sundial series, this variety offers improved branching, larger flowers, and earlier blooming than many traditional portulacas. Its brilliant color and exceptional heat tolerance make it a standout performer in containers, hanging baskets, borders, rock gardens, and water-wise landscapes.
Garden Uses:
Sundial Mango Portulaca is ideal for patio containers, hanging baskets, window boxes, rock gardens, raised beds, edging, and xeriscape plantings. The warm mango-orange blooms pair beautifully with purple verbena, blue lobelia, yellow portulaca, silver dusty miller, and ornamental grasses. Its compact spreading habit makes it useful for filling sunny spaces with continuous color while softening hardscape features and container edges.
Growing Information:
Grow Sundial Mango Portulaca in full sun for the best flowering and strongest color development. Plants thrive in well-drained soil and perform exceptionally well in sandy, rocky, and drought-prone locations. Sow seeds on the soil surface and gently press into place, as light aids germination. Maintain temperatures of 70-80°F and consistent moisture until germination occurs, usually within 7-14 days. Once established, plants require little watering and perform best when not overwatered.
