Distinctive Features

This portulaca features fluffy, fully double white flowers that sit above fleshy, green, succulent leaves on a spreading to lightly trailing plant. Bloom is strongest from late spring through summer and can continue into fall in favorable weather. The habit stays low and wide, creating a carpet-like effect in beds and a gentle cascade in pots and baskets. Mature size is typically about 4 to 6 inches tall and 12 to 20 inches wide.

Growing Conditions

• Sun: Full sun for best flowering and the tightest, healthiest growth.
• Soil: Well-drained soil or a fast-draining container mix, and avoid heavy, consistently wet sites.
• Water: Low to medium, water to establish, then let soil dry slightly between waterings.
• Zones: USDA Zones 9 to 11, grown as an annual elsewhere.
• Notable Traits: Heat tolerant and drought tolerant once established, and it is often attractive to pollinators.

Ideal Uses

• Focal Point: Use a full planting in a wide bowl as a focal point where the double white blooms read as a bright, textured cushion of color.
• Hanging Baskets: Plant near the rim so stems can trail slightly and soften edges with constant bloom.
• Edging: Line sunny paths and bed fronts to create a low, flowering border that holds up in heat.
• Rock Gardens: Tuck into hot, well-drained spots where other plants struggle and let it knit the space together.

Low Maintenance Care

• Watering: Water deeply but infrequently once established, since overly wet soil can cause decline.
• Trimming: Shear lightly if plants stretch, which refreshes growth and encourages a fuller look.
• Feeding: Feed lightly in containers to support steady bloom, and avoid heavy fertilizing that can reduce flowering.
• Drainage: Prioritize sharp drainage in beds and containers to keep roots healthy in summer storms.
