Portulaca grandiflora 'Mega Pazzaz Fuchsia' (Moss Rose)

'Mega Pazzaz Fuchsia' moss rose turns up the color dial on an already bold genus. The blooms are a vivid hot fuchsia-magenta, fully double and densely petaled, held above the needle-like succulent foliage that gives moss rose its common name. The Mega Pazzaz series was bred for larger flowers and improved heat tolerance, and 'Fuchsia' in particular delivers intense color that holds well even in the warmest parts of the season without fading to a washed-out pink.

Like all portulacas, this variety thrives in lean, well-drained soil in full sun. It performs beautifully in containers, window boxes, hanging baskets, and rock gardens, spreading and trailing as it grows to create a low carpet of color. Watering needs are minimal once established.

On the coast, pair 'Mega Pazzaz Fuchsia' with your warmest, most sun-exposed spots for best flowering. In containers it mixes striking well with silver-foliaged plants or bright yellows and oranges for a bold summer combination.
