Also known as Moss Rose, this stunning variety produces spectacular, fully double, heavily ruffled pom-pom-like blooms in a stunning, high-contrast bicolor combination. The center of the flower is a vibrant, sunny golden-yellow, which gracefully fades and blends into striking hot magenta-pink petal edges, creating a breathtaking \"sunburst\" or \"tequila sunrise\" effect. The densely layered, ruffled petals resemble miniature peonies or carnations, with bright golden-orange anthers nestled at the center, creating a vibrant, glowing display that immediately brightens up any space from early summer until the first frost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePortulaca is a water-wise gardener's dream. Its fleshy, succulent, needle-like leaves store water, making it incredibly drought-tolerant and perfect for xeriscaping, rock gardens, and tough, hot, dry locations where other plants struggle. It forms a dense, low-growing, trailing carpet reaching only 4–6 inches tall and spreading 8–10 inches wide, quickly filling in bare spots and suppressing weeds. The trailing habit also makes it an excellent choice for spilling over the edges of patio containers, window boxes, and hanging baskets. Easy to grow, heat-loving, and drought-tolerant, these pink and yellow sunburst double beauties are an absolute must-have for any hot, sunny summer garden, rock garden, or container display.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(134, 110, 60);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🌱How to Plant \u0026amp; Grow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 144, 44);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Requirements:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e  Full sun (6–8+ hours of direct sun per day is essential for profuse blooming).
