Pink Splash Purslane Seeds - Portulaca Oleracea, 30 seeds

Quantity: 30 Seeds / pack

Pink Splash Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is a flowering purslane grown for its single pink blooms over low, spreading, succulent foliage. Unlike the green vegetable types, this is an ornamental selection that turns hot, sunny spots into a carpet of color. It is exceptionally heat tolerant, thrives on neglect, and the fleshy leaves are edible with a mild, tangy flavor.

Why choose our seeds?

• Cheerful single pink blooms on a low, spreading succulent carpet
• Thrives in heat and poor soil where other flowers struggle
• Low-maintenance ground cover for beds, borders, and containers

How to grow Pink Splash Purslane seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Sow 3-4 weeks before your last frost if you want an early start.
• Outdoors: Direct sow after the last frost, when the soil is warm.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots
• Well-draining seed-starting mix or loose garden soil
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Sow on the surface of the soil and press in gently; the tiny seeds need light to germinate, so do not bury them.
• Mist to settle the seeds and keep the surface moist until they sprout.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun and warmth; purslane germinates and grows best in warm soil.
• Temperature: 70-85°F (21-29°C) for quick germination.

Germination

• Seeds germinate in 7-21 days in warm conditions.
• Thin seedlings to 8-12 inches apart; they will knit together into a mat.

Transplanting

• Transplant after the last frost, spacing plants 8-12 inches apart.
• Handle seedlings gently; they are small at first but grow fast.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun for the most flowers.
• Water: Water until established, then sparingly; this succulent prefers to stay on the drier side.
• Fertilizer: A modest feeding at planting is plenty; rich soil is not needed.
• Deadhead or shear lightly to keep blooms coming. Because purslane self-sows readily, cut back before seed forms if you want to limit volunteers.

Bloom Time:

Summer to fall; flowers open in bright sun.
