How to grow Red and Pink Purslane seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Direct sow outdoors 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 in lightly — the tiny seeds need light to germinate.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Full sun — the seeds germinate best in bright light and warmth.
• Temperature: Around 70–78°F (21–26°C).

Germination

• Seedlings usually appear in 7–10 days in warm conditions.
• Thin to the final spacing once seedlings have a couple of true leaves.

Transplanting

• Plant out after all danger of frost has passed and the weather is warm.
• Spacing: Space plants 6–8 inches (15–20 cm) apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Full sun in well-drained soil.
• Water: Water young plants steadily; let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
• Fertilizer: Not heavy feeders; a monthly all-purpose feed in summer keeps them blooming longer.
• If plants get leggy by midsummer, shear back by about half to force fresh flowering stems.

Bloom Time:

Blooms all summer until frost; flowers open in bright sun and close at night and on cloudy days.
