Pazzaz™ Red Flare Improved Purslane

PAZZAZ™ Red Flare Improved is a named Portulaca oleracea selection in Danziger’s semi-trailing PAZZAZ™ series. The [catalog listing](https://www.danzigeronline.com/files/smart-view/annuals_22-23_na/) places it among early-flowering varieties and gives the medium-habit series a published height of 10–12 inches and spread of 14–16 inches, with basket, landscape, ground-cover, heat-tolerant, combination, and pollinator uses. ## Garden Use The semi-trailing outline suits baskets, containers, and low plantings where stems can extend around the edge. Its red blooms bring vivid color to sunny seasonal displays. ## Growing Conditions Give this annual full sun and sandy or otherwise well-drained soil. The PAZZAZ™ series is described as early flowering and useful in combinations; Portulaca also performs well where heat and low moisture challenge other bedding plants. See the [PAZZAZ™ series profile](https://www.danzigeronline.com/series_annuals/pazzaz/) and [Portulaca growing guide](https://www.danzigeronline.com/crops/portulaca-oleracea/) for the source details. ## Maintenance Allow the growing medium to drain and avoid overwatering. Trim trailing stems only as needed to keep them within the available space.
