Portulaca - Moss Rose 
Portulacas enjoy the hottest, 
dryest situation and will 
grow in almost any soil. Foli¬ 
age is thick and succulent, 
like that of a Sedum, and the 
flowers resemble single and 
double roses. They bloom 
most freely throughout the 
summer and fall. Scatter a 
few seeds in your rockery or 
anywhere to fill up empty 
spaces. Sow seed in May 
when the ground is warm 
and it is well to mix the seed 
with dry sand or soil to en¬ 
sure an even distribution.
