Purslane Toucan Hot Mix
Flourishes in heat, doesn't mind dry soil, and spreads like crazy!
Toucan is a brilliantly-colored purslane, and Hot Mix contains three of its brightest and best colors: radiant scarlet, sunny yellow, and screamin' fuchsia! They top small, succulent-like foliage that reaches just 3 to 4 inches high but spreads more than a foot in no time. And they remain open from early morning until late afternoon, jazzing up any sun-soaked setting from the garden floor to your best containers.
Purslane thrives in heat, prefers its soil on the dry side (once established in the garden), and is ready to spread almost from the day you transplant it. Let it spill over the sides of hanging baskets and windowboxes, fill in around flowering annuals in the sunny bed, or cover bare dry garden spots beautifully. The flowers continue all summer, and the handsome foliage remains until hard frost. Easy, quick, and carefree, this is the tropical flair your garden has been looking for! Pkt is 20 multi-pelleted seeds.
