Plant in well-draining soil, including in rock gardens. Low maintenance and drought tolerant. Avoid fall clean-up if you wish to take advantage of the plant's self-sowing nature.

Portulaca is a strong succulent ground cover that can stay blanketed in flowers all summer long. 'Dragonfruit' has double-blooms in hot pink and orange... an eyecatching mix atop a low-growing mat of foliage.
