Proven Winners® Mojave® Mango Portulaca (Portulaca umbraticola ‘Mojave® Mango’) (PW)

Proven Winners® Mojave® Mango Portulaca (Portulaca umbraticola ‘Mojave® Mango’) (PW) is a vibrant, heat-loving annual prized for its brilliant mango-orange flowers, succulent foliage, and exceptional drought tolerance. Part of the award-winning Mojave® series from Proven Winners®, this variety delivers larger blooms, improved branching, and continuous flowering throughout the hottest months of summer.

Masses of luminous mango-orange flowers cover the plant from late spring until frost, creating a tropical display of colour in garden beds, containers, hanging baskets, and landscape plantings. Unlike many traditional moss roses, Mojave® varieties are known for their vigorous growth and ability to remain attractive even during extreme heat and dry conditions. The blooms attract bees and other pollinators while providing season-long visual impact.

The fleshy, succulent foliage helps the plant tolerate drought and intense sunlight, making it an excellent choice for water-wise gardens and low-maintenance landscapes. Its spreading, mounding habit allows it to fill containers quickly and cascade beautifully over planter edges while maintaining a neat appearance.

In Alberta, Mojave® Mango thrives in sunny locations and provides reliable colour throughout the summer, even during periods of high heat and limited rainfall.
