Portulacas enjoy the hottest, 
dryest situation andwillgrow 
in almost any soil. Foliage is 
thick and succulent, like that 
of a Sedum, and the flowers 
resemble single and double 
roses. They bloom most free¬

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 ensure an even distribution.
