Pazzaz™ NANO Candy Pink Purslane

Pazzaz™ NANO Candy Pink is a Portulaca oleracea selection in Danziger’s PAZZAZ NANO™ series. The grower lists spring and summer flowering, a semi-trailing habit, and a compact mature size of 8–10 inches high by 10–12 inches wide. ## Flowers and garden use Candy Pink is the selection’s trade color; the exact page describes medium-sized single flowers. The cultivar is suited to pots, hanging baskets, ground cover and landscape use, and Danziger notes that it can be used in pollinator programs. Its naturally controlled habit makes it useful where a low, trailing annual can spill over a container or fill an open sunny patch. The [Danziger Candy Pink page](https://www.danzigeronline.com/catalog/annuals/pazzaz-nano-candy-pink/) identifies the trade selection and its series. ## Growing conditions [North Carolina Extension](https://plants.ces.ncsu.edu/plants/portulaca-oleracea/) describes Portulaca oleracea as an annual succulent for full sun and well-drained soil, drought-tolerant after establishment. These general species conditions complement Danziger’s specific NANO description of heat and drought tolerance; they do not change the exact trade-color identity. Use freely draining containers and leave room for the semi-trailing stems. ## Maintenance Water new plants while they establish, then allow excess water to drain and avoid persistently wet soil. Check the edge of a ground-cover planting for unwanted spread. Remove seedheads where self-sowing is not desired.
