Heat and drought-tolerant plant produces luminous, silver-green foliage topped by large, conical spikes of feathery flowers. Each long-lasting, 2 to 3-in. (5 to 8-cm), “bottlebrush” bloom starts out silver and matures to neon pink near the tips. The compact, uniform plants are well-suited to gardens and mixed containers.

Bred for reduced daylength sensitivity, Happy Hour flowers under shorter days than other portulaca so growers can sow up to 2 weeks earlier for early- season sales. Well-branched, mounded plants ship well with less breakage than prostrate types, and put on high-impact displays at retail. Drought-tolerant and well-suited for hot, dry, full-sun locations.
