Portulaca grandiflora cultivars (Single Petal)
Origin: Southern Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina
[Portulaca, Moss Rose, Rose Moss, Sun Plant]
Portulaca grandiflora is most ideal as ground cover for dry areas and rock gardens or sunny borders and beds, especially if planted with a mix of various cultivars to present a carpet of colors. It is fantastic as a hanging basket plant with its trailing branches and colorful blooms cascading over the basket or pot. Excellent too for container gardening or planter boxes, placed at balconies, window sills, patios and decks. Being very tolerant of hot and dry conditions, it is most suitable to be planted on slopes or between pavers and along driveways, sidewalks or roadsides.
