I started some in shallow containers and others in my garden bed—both did great. The plants are tidy and full, and harvesting is easy. Love the mild, clean flavor.
I scattered a small handful of seeds and now have more purslane than I know what to do with. It grows fast and spreads wide—great for anyone who loves fresh greens.
These seeds germinated in just a few days, and the plants have been growing like crazy. The leaves are thick, juicy, and taste a bit lemony—really refreshing.
I used this as a groundcover around my tomatoes, and it did double duty: kept weeds down and gave me fresh greens to harvest. Tough, fast-growing, and edible!
I planted these in a dry, sandy bed where nothing else seemed happy—and purslane took off! Super low maintenance and ideal for hot climates.
