Portulaca

Portulaca, or Moss Rose, is another short plant that does well in hot dry conditions. Since it is a succulent, it does better than most plants under drought conditions.

It needs full sun to do well. The flowers won't even open completely without good bright light, and with many varieties the flowers close up at night.

We offer this plant in packs and flats of mixed colors.
