Sunnybank Double Flowered Mixed is a vibrant, low-growing annual producing masses of bright, double and semi-double, rose-like flowers above fleshy, succulent foliage. The mixture includes a brilliant range of pink, red, orange, yellow, salmon and white, creating a colourful carpet throughout the warmer months.
Also known as Moss Rose, Portulaca thrives in hot, sunny conditions and is an excellent choice for borders, rockeries, containers, hanging baskets and dry garden areas. The flowers open most fully in bright sunshine, while their low, spreading growth makes them particularly effective planted in groups.
Exceptionally tolerant of heat and dry conditions once established, Sunnybank prefers full sun and sandy or free-draining soil. Avoid overwatering or planting in areas that remain wet.
