Fireburst Gradient Purslane Seeds - Portulaca Oleracea, 30 seeds

Quantity: 30 Seeds / pack

Fireburst Gradient is an ornamental purslane (Portulaca oleracea), a low-spreading succulent that carries cup-shaped blooms in warm, flame-like shades of red, orange, and gold over glossy green leaves. Its trailing habit and love of heat make it lovely spilling from baskets, edging paths, or filling hot, sunny spots — and it blooms from late spring right through fall.

Why choose our seeds?

• Warm gradient-toned blooms on glossy succulent foliage
• Thrives in heat and sun where fussier flowers struggle
• Great as a low ground cover, edging plant, or basket spiller

How to grow Fireburst Gradient Purslane seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start 2–4 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost, once the soil is warm.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface and press gently into the soil — the fine seeds need light to germinate, so do not bury them.
• No pre-treatment is needed.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright light; flowers open best in sunshine.
• Temperature: 70–85°F (21–29°C) for the fastest sprouting.

Germination

• Seedlings emerge in about 7–14 days in warm soil (some seeds take up to 21 days).
• Mist to keep the surface lightly moist until sprouts appear.

Transplanting

• Move out after all frost danger has passed.
• Space or thin to 6–8 inches apart; plants spread to 12 inches or more.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun for the best bloom.
• Water: Sparingly — let the soil dry between waterings.
• Fertilizer: Low to average fertility is best; purslane thrives in poor soil.
• Avoid overwatering, which is the main cause of trouble with this plant.

Bloom Time:

Late spring through fall; flowers open in bright sun and close at night.
