Portulaca Pazzaz Red Flare Imp, also known as Portulaca Oleracea, Verdolaga, or Purslane, is an annual succulent native to North Africa and widely naturalized in the Americas before 1500. Danziger developed this cultivar for use in hanging baskets. It offers a semi-trailing habit of 10-12" tall and 14-16" wide, with red flowers on succulent foliage from spring through fall. This plant flourishes in full sun with little water, tolerating sandy soil, drought, and heat. Profuse vibrant blooms are an excellent addition to hanging baskets, containers, or seasonal groundcover.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Portulaca Pazzaz Red Flare Imp, plant one rooted liner per 4-inch container or three liners per 10-inch container. Use well-drained soil with a pH of 5.8-6.2, EC of 1.2-1.5, average daily temperatures of 68-72, and light feed (100-150 ppm N). You may see aphids, thrips, and whiteflies. This plant isn't prone to disease, but botrytis and root rot can develop in overly wet conditions. You may use a fungicide drench after transplant. Use daminozide to control growth at finishing.
Flowering
Red flowers bloom from spring through fall.
Pinching
This plant doesn't require pinching.
Spacing
Space containers for adequate airflow and sunlight penetration around the base and foliage of each plant.
Height Control
Spray Daminozide at 2,500 ppm at finishing.
Pests
You may see aphids, thrips, and whiteflies.
Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease, but botrytis and root rot can develop in overly wet conditions. Prevent rot by following these protocols in your greenhouse:
1. Water at the base of each plant in the morning and allow the soil to dry completely between waterings.
2. Provide good airflow in your greenhouse. We recommend using horizontal airflow fans.
3. Space containers so sunlight can penetrate to the soil level of each plant. Grow this plant in full sun.
Planting Portulaca Pazzaz Red Flare Imp Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch container or three per 10-inch basket. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center or evenly spaced in the container.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
