Mega Pazzaz™ Gold Purslane

Mega Pazzaz™ Gold is Danziger’s gold-flowered *Portulaca oleracea* selection in the MEGA PAZZAZ™ series. Its large, single blooms sit above a controlled semi-trailing plant; Danziger lists 14–16 inches in height and 16–18 inches in width, and describes early flowering and pollinator-friendly use. [Danziger product details](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/mega-pazzaz-gold/) [Penn State Flower Trials](https://agsci.psu.edu/flower-trials/trial-year/2022/plant-name/portulaca--purslane--mega-pazzaz-gold) documents this named Gold selection, while [North Carolina Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/portulaca-oleracea/) describes the species as an annual succulent for sun and well-drained soil. ## Landscape Use Use the warm yellow flowers in sunny pots, hanging baskets, low ground-cover accents, or the front of a summer border. The semi-trailing stems soften edges, and the series’ large blooms make the color easy to appreciate in close plantings. Danziger identifies MEGA PAZZAZ™ as suited to heat- and drought-tolerant programs and pollinator displays. ## Growing Conditions Plant in full sun and soil that drains well. The fleshy foliage helps established purslane tolerate dry spells, but young plants need water as their roots establish. Containers should have open drainage holes; saturated soil is unsuitable. The listed 14–16-inch height and 16–18-inch spread are mature planning ranges, not fixed dimensions for every growing situation. ## Maintenance Water during establishment and through extended dry periods, letting the mix dry somewhat between watering. Shorten stems lightly if they extend beyond the chosen container or bed edge.
