PORTULACA— Rose Moss 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 they 
are in a sunny location. Portulaca flowers will open only in full sunlight. 
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 flowering plant put in its place later, 
They are very easy to transplant.
