Portulaca oleracea 'Seaglass Double Dragonfruit' | Seaglass® Series Purslane 'Double Dragonfruit' | Double Flowering Purslane | Moss Rose 'Seaglass Double Dragonfruit'
Seaglass Double Dragonfruit Portulaca is a trailing, heat‑loving succulent (grown as an annual in cooler climates) prized for its explosive, fully double blooms that feature striking fuchsia centers surrounded by vibrant yellow‑orange outer petals. This exceptional selection from the Seaglass series is known for its low‑growing, mat‑forming habit, fleshy dark green foliage, and nonstop flowering from late spring into fall. Its vivid blossoms draw bees and butterflies, making it a standout choice for rock gardens, hanging baskets, trailing over walls, and sunny, dry landscape beds. With its vigorous form and reliable performance in hot, arid conditions, Seaglass Double Dragonfruit offers bold, vivacious color with minimal maintenance.
Growing Portulaca oleracea 'Seaglass Double Dragonfruit'
Light: Full sun; thrives in high-light environments and requires direct sunlight for the flowers to fully open and remain vibrant throughout the day.
Soil: Well-drained soil; thrives in sandy or gravelly textures and is highly tolerant of poor soil quality, provided it does not retain excess moisture.
Water: Low to moderate; as a succulent, it stores water in its leaves and stems, making it exceptionally drought-tolerant once established. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings.
Maintenance: Very low maintenance; self-cleaning blooms mean no deadheading is required. Its trailing habit stays naturally full without the need for aggressive pruning.
Wildlife: Pollinator-friendly; the bright, nectar-rich "double" blooms are a favorite for honeybees and butterflies; generally salt-tolerant and neglected-area hardy.
Hardiness: Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 2-11; grown as a tender perennial in zones 10-11 and widely used as a vigorous summer annual in all other climates due to its rapid growth in warm weather.
