The Moss-Rose Purslane, scientifically known as Portulaca grandiflora, is a vibrant, hardy annual flower that adds a splash of color to any garden. Known for its bright, multi-colored blooms and succulent-like foliage, this plant is a favorite among gardeners for its beauty and resilience.
Native to South America, particularly Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay, the Moss-Rose Purslane thrives in hot, sunny climates. Its botanical name, Portulaca grandiflora, hints at its grand flowers, which come in a variety of colors, including pink, red, yellow, orange, and white. The flowers are typically around an inch in diameter and have a delicate, rose-like appearance, hence the common name Moss-Rose.
The plant itself is low-growing, reaching a height of about 6 to 8 inches, making it ideal for ground cover, rock gardens, and container planting. Its fleshy, needle-like leaves are a sign of its drought tolerance, allowing it to flourish in dry, sandy soils where many other plants would struggle.
