INTRODUCING PURSLANE SEEDS
Purslane has a long cultivation record and has been grown for millenia in many areas of the world, particularly in the Mediterranean and parts of the Middle East. Easily growing in poor soil and drought conditions, purslane is a resilient plant that can thrive in almost any outdoor space from USDA hardiness zones 2 to 11. It may naturally re-seed with wind and can spread vigorously, so it may be useful to keep it contained in pots or raised beds. This amazing plant is filled with useful nutrients and can adapt to various environmental conditions.
HOW TO PLANT PURSLANE SEEDS
Purslane seeds require heat to germinate. Sow them in the garden after any possibility of frost has passed, planting shallowly on the soil surface. The seeds will germinate in 7 - 10 days if the soil is kept moist. Purslane is ideal for ground cover or filling gaps in the lawn or garden.
