Supertunia Picasso in Burgundy and Mojave Tangerine Portulaca

Checking in on my Proven Winners plants, Supertunia in Burgundy and Mojave Tangerine Portulaca. 

Do you remember back in April when I excitedly posted photos of all my new Proven Winners plants that had just arrived?  I thought you might like an update on a couple of them!  I can not begin to say enough good things about the Supertunia Picasso in Burgundy.  It is so new, that I can't link to it on their website, but you can check out the Picasso in Pink.    This is the most profuse petunia that I have ever grown and I have planted a lot of the petunias!  The blossoms are smaller than the usual petunias that I plant and I love this!  It makes the plant look like it is simply covered in blooms - which it is!  The blossoms are deep purple and rimmed in green.  I planted them in two planters hanging off of my porch and they are just gorgeous!

Next to them, I planted Mojave Tangerine Portulaca.  This is a smaller more compact plant that is heat and drought tolerant.  I love it's small fleshy leaves and soft tangerine flowers.  It pairs beautifully with the purple from the supertunias.  Sometimes I love mixing colors from opposite sides of the color wheel, they just seem to bring out the vibrancy in each other.
