 is useful for beds, borders, edgings, the rock garden and between 

 stepping stones. Sow outdoors in May, first mixing with dry soil to 

 insure even spacing of the fine seed. Portulaca blooms early and until 

 frost. It likes full sun, well-drained, rather dry, or even stony soil.

 garden flowers wither and die. Plants 3 in. high.
