Fuller habit and large, semi-double blooms in vivid colors. Drought-tolerant Happy Hour is sure to please with its excellent garden performance. Great for hot, dry, full-sun conditions.
Sow up to 2 weeks earlier than competing bush-type varieties, as Happy Hour is bred to bloom under shorter days than other portulacas - 10.5 hours. Tidy, mounded plants are easier to pack and ship, with less breakage than prostrate types. Well-branched plants flower uniformly across the series. Extra-appealing at retail, with fuller habit and large, double blooms in vivid colours.
