When to Seed Portulaca

This annual bloom should be transplanted or direct seeded into the garden once all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Portulaca

This flower will need full sun and will prefer loose, well-draining soil, however, it is not super picky about its growing conditions. 

Growing Portulaca

Sow seeds on the surface of the soil and three to four inches apart. Once mature, thin to five to eight inches apart. Once established, this plant is extremely drought and heat tolerant. 

Harvesting Portulaca

Portulaca tops out at five inches or so, so isn’t typically harvested for cut flowers, but does make a beautiful landscaping plant in the driest and most neglected parts of your garden.
