[PanAmerican Seed product details](https://www.panamseed.com/Products/050906324003332/portulaca-happy-trails-mixture/) ## Profile This is a named multi-color mixture rather than a single-color selection. Its low spreading habit suits sunny containers, hanging planters, rock gardens, and the front edge of a border. Moss rose is a low-growing annual with fleshy green leaves and flowers that open in bright sunlight and close at night or in cloudy weather. Heat and drought tolerance after establishment, together with a trailing form, make the series useful for freely drained warm-season plantings.

Avoid waterlogged beds because poor drainage can cause crown rot. Water during establishment and prolonged dry weather, then let the soil drain between watering. Remove spent flowers or seed capsules if you want to limit self-seeding.
