Product Description
Portulaca, or table rose, is a popular drought-tolerant annual. Plants are low-growing spreaders with thick succulent stems and vibrant, cup-shaped flowers.
Portulaca are succulents, so they are excellent flowers to have if you live in a dry climate, since they can store water well, and also provide lots of low lying color for your garden. They also are very easy to take care of after you get started. If you’re growing your portulaca plants from seed, take care not to over sow the tiny seeds, which are as small as pepper flakes.The succulent leaves of the portulaca are a clue to the wonderful drought tolerance of this low growing annual flower.Flowers come in hot colors, like yellow, orange, red, and bright pink. White, cream, and variegated flower colors are also available.
