Hot Shot® Orange - Purslane

Hot Shot® Orange brings vivid orange flowers to warm-weather planting. This purslane selection suits sunny baskets, combination containers, and garden areas that handle heat and drying between waterings. ## Garden Use The [Green Fuse Hot Shot series profile](https://green-fuse.com/new/purslane-hot-shots/) labels Orange among its color selections and recommends pots, hanging baskets, and combination planters. The [culture worksheet](https://green-fuse.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Purslane-Hot-Shot%C2%AE.pdf) says the series tolerates hot, dry landscape conditions and needs high light and warm temperatures for well-branched plants. Use it where a bright seasonal display can spill over a container edge or enliven a sunny planting. ## Maintenance Plant in a freely draining mix. Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again; avoid persistently wet conditions. Pinch growing tips to encourage branching, and shear back lightly if the plant needs reshaping.
