These low-growing, tough plants are very floriferous, beginning their bloom season earlier than other Rose Mosses and remaining colorful through the worst summer heat and drought. The blooms stay open longer in the day than other Portulacas as well, giving you more glorious tropical color! Just 6 inches tall, these plants spread an incredible 14 to 16 inches in the sunny garden, and are perfect for filling containers to overflowing with small, needle-like foliage and masses of great blooms. Superb for landscaping--this color has a uniform habit and bloomtime with all the other Sundials! Pkt is 50 seeds.
A good plant for dry beds and borders, in containers and rock gardens, and as edging material. The plants grow only 4-6 inches tall, but spread to 2 feet. The will be covered all summer long in 21/2 inch diameter flowers that are colored pink, red, gold, yellow, cream, white, or salmon and sometimes striped or flecked with a contrasting color. The petals are satin-textured and ruffled in appearance. Petal arrangement is either single and cup-shaped or double and rose-like in appearance. Flowers open during the day and close at night; likewise, they close on cloudy days. Leaves are green, 1 inch long, thin, cylindrical, and succulent

First of all, we have humidity- and temperature-controlled storage, and we never treat any of our seeds with chemicals or pesticides. Nor do we ever sell GMO's (genetically modified seeds), so you always know the products you're buying from us are natural as well as safe for you and the environment.

Hand Packed By Experienced Technicians
Park Seed has been handling and packing vegetable and flower seeds for 145 years, a history that has given us a great understanding of how each variety should be cared for and maintained throughout every step of theprocess, from collection to shipping.
When packing our seeds, the majority are actually done by hand (with extreme care!), and we often over-pack them, so you're receiving more than the stated quantity.
The Park Seed Gold Standard
Heirloom Seeds are open-pollinated -- they are not hybrids. You can gather and save heirloom seed from year to year and they will grow true to type every year, so they can be passed down through generations. To be considered an heirloom, a variety would have to be at least from the 1940's and 3 generations old (many varieties are much older -- some 100 years or more!).
Hybrid seed are the product of cross-pollination between 2 different parent plants, resulting in a new plant/seed that is different from the parents. Unlike Heirloom seed, hybrid seed need to be re-purchased new every year (and not saved). They usually will not grow true to type if you save them, but will revert to one of the parents they were crossed with and most likely look/taste different in some way.
