Moss Rose (Portulaca Grandiflora Happy Hour Peppermint) - This variety produces tidy, mounded plants with uniform pink swirled flowers.

It fills in those areas of the garden that are troublesome as it is a very tolerant plant. This pink moss rose thrives in sunny hot locations where the soil is poor. When it is thriving, it produces lots of flowers with semi-double blooms that is certain to catch attention.
