ae PORTULACA— Rose Mose’ or'Sun Plant 
- For a brilliant display in low borders, edgings, beds, rock gardens or ground cover, 
nothing can excel portulaca. Blooms early and continuously until frost; must have a sunny 
location, but will grow in almost any soil if well drained. Forms a dense, thick carpet; 4 to 
6 in. tall. Seed is very fine so should be barely covered when sown. Nice to use between 
stepping stones. May be used in window boxes if in a sunny location. 
Double Portulaca 
Flowers are like little roses. Seed 
saved from perfectly double flowers 
will produce some singles. As these 
usually bloom first, they can be re- 
moved if desired and a double flow- 
ering plant put in its place later. They 
are very easy to transplant.
