The large, vivid tangerine five-petaled flowers with bright yellow centers produced by Portulaca Mojave Tangerine (Portulaca umbraticola) will add a burst of sunshine to your gardens from late spring to frost. The flowers close at night and reopen in the morning. For best results, plant them in full sun conditions. This short plant will grow between 4 and 8 inches tall with a 12 to 16-inch spread in a trailing habit.

The drought, heat, humidity, and salt tolerance qualities of Portulaca Mojave Tangerine make it an award winner in the top performer category. This plant can be used in pots, window boxes, hanging baskets, mass plantings, and as a ground cover. It performs in the spiller role in container gardens and will trail up to 16 inches. Both bees and butterflies will be attracted to the flowers.

Mojave Tangerine Purslane Care

This plant will tolerate dry conditions but will perform better in soils with an average moisture level. Portulaca Mojave Tangerine has low fertilizer needs. This plant is a wonderful choice for warm climates with poor, dry soils.

Deadheading is not required for this succulent to continuously bloom. This plant is typically grown as an annual but is hardy in zones 10 to 11. It may survive indoors as a houseplant in full sun conditions.

Mojave Tangerine Purslane Spacing

In a garden bed, space plants 8 to 10 inches apart, center on center. They can be planted a minimum of 6 inches apart in a container to achieve a fuller look. They’ll look great combined with taller plants that produce similar or contrasting color flowers.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
