Description
The Portulaca Plant, also known as Moss Rose, is a sun-loving, ground-hugging beauty that bursts into vibrant blooms every day. With its succulent-like foliage and cheerful, poppy-like flowers in shades of pink, yellow, red, orange, and white, this plant is a brilliant choice for balcony railings, window boxes, hanging baskets, and sunny garden beds.
Portulaca thrives in hot, dry conditions, making it perfect for Delhi NCR’s summer sun. It doesn’t demand much—just plenty of light, well-draining soil, and minimal watering. Despite its delicate-looking flowers, it’s surprisingly tough and blooms profusely throughout the warm season, closing up in the evening and reopening every morning.
This plant arrives in a nursery grow bag, already rooted and ready to spread or trail. Whether you’re creating a low-maintenance flower bed or brightening up your railing, Portulaca’s low, trailing habit and intense colour payoff make it a favourite among gardeners.
