The flowers are missing from this product at the time of dispatch. After that, the plant will blossom, and the flower may be pink. The Portulacaceae family, which includes the genus Portulaca, is indigenous to Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay.

Plants have a trailing habit and are diminutive. Their branches are spherical and succulent, and their leaves are cylindrical and mushy. Flowers come in tones of white, purple, yellow, red, pink, orange, lavender, and scarlet, among other bright colors.

Flowers open sporadically in the morning and close in the afternoon. On cloudy days, they also close. Portulaca flowers grow well in ancient crevices in structures where winds have deposited just enough soil to support them. Just give them full sun and any well-drained soil. They are extremely lovely in many garden and landscape settings and have been used to decorate old structures and stone paths. After planting, water the seeds and then watch them grow. If the plants start to look scraggly, you can trim them back. Don’t fertilize your plants excessively; this will encourage them to produce more dense foliage but fewer blossoms.
