Purslane

Portulaca oleracea, commonly known as purslane, is a low-growing, spreading annual valued for its succulent foliage and small, vibrant flowers. Blooms appear in bright shades of yellow, orange, pink, red, and white, opening in full sun. Its trailing habit and high heat tolerance make it ideal for groundcover, borders, and containers, especially in hot, dry conditions.

Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water lightly; allow soil to dry between waterings as it is highly drought tolerant
• Pruning: Minimal pruning needed; trim lightly to control spread if desired
• Fertilizer: Use little to no fertilizer; overly rich soil can reduce flowering
