Portulaca, also known as Moss Rose, are low-maintenance, heat-loving annuals with succulent-like foliage and bright, double-petaled flowers that bloom continuously from summer to fall in a variety of colors like pink, yellow, and white. They thrive in full sun and well-draining soil, making them ideal for sunny locations, hanging baskets, containers, and as ground cover. These drought-tolerant plants are easy to grow and care for, attracting pollinators like butterflies.

Care and Maintenance

Watering: Water sparingly, as the plants retain moisture in their succulent leaves.

Fertilizing: No specific fertilizer is needed, as they grow well in poor soils.

Pests: The plants are resistant to most pests.

Weeding: Their dense, mat-forming growth helps suppress weeds.
