Welcome to the site!
Moving the question to the Cactus and Succulent forum.
As Yogi Berra said, “It's tough to make predictions, especially about the future.”

Welcome! LadyVee
Looks like @Calif_Sue posted photos from Annie's Annuals into our database (with permission). l don't know if she actually grew the plant. But the nursery might have info. Here's their description

Sounds like a spring bloomer. I'm sure they'll answer your questions.

That sounds like good advice. I have planted a couple of Lampranthus plants, but I have no experience with that cultivar. (There are hundreds of species in the genus.) The ones here bloom in profusion for a few weeks during spring, but not much at any other time of year. They are good companions for other ice plants with spring blooming.

My Lampranthus Pink Kaboom is a spring bloomer here in my garden. Gives even better blooms if we had a nice rainy winter.

As soon as we start hitting 85F and higher blooming time is over. I also have to step up watering as summer ensues to help the plant. It maybe drought tolerant but it gets too excessively hot here in my growing area so need to step up watering a bit.
