Portulaca Double Mix

90.00

Portulaca Double Mix is a vibrant, low-growing variety of purslane (Portulaca grandiflora) known for its semi-double to fully double, ruffled flowers in a mix of bright colors like pink, red, yellow, and white.

Often called moss rose, it’s a popular ornamental plant for gardens, rockeries, and containers due to its drought tolerance and cheerful blooms.

The plant thrives in hot, sunny conditions, making it ideal for summer landscaping in arid or coastal regions.

Double Mix varieties are bred for extra petals, giving a fuller, more luxurious appearance compared to single-flowered portulaca.
