Appearance
Flowers
Portulaca flowers come in a variety of bright colors including red, orange, yellow, pink, white, and bi-colored. The flowers are typically small, cup-shaped, and have a crepe-paper texture. They bloom from late spring to the first frost.
Leaves
The leaves are small, cylindrical, and fleshy. They are usually a bright green, sometimes tinged with red. Leaves grow in a dense, mat-forming pattern.
Care Requirements
Portulaca thrives in full sun. They require at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal flowering. Water sparingly; they are drought-tolerant and prefer dry conditions. Overwatering can lead to root rot. Ensure soil is well-draining. Sandy or rocky soil is ideal. Well-draining soil is essential to prevent waterlogging.
