Bring pollinator-friendly beauty to your Texas beds with Purslane Colorblast Pink Lady. This stunning succulent produces masses of bright pink blooms that open in the sun, adding vibrant color from spring through fall.

Why Choose Pink Lady Purslane:

How to Care for Purslane Colorblast Pink Lady in Texas:
Plant after the last frost for continuous summer color. Requires full sun and excellent drainage. Little watering needed once established — overwatering may cause root rot. Great for poor, sandy soils.
