Why Grow This Variety
Purslane (Portulaca oleracea), also called verdolagas, is a beloved heirloom green with a bright, lemony flavor. Rich in natural omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals, it’s a powerful superfood that brings fresh nutrition to your table. From salads and tacos to soups and sautés, purslane adds zest and nourishment when you need it most. Its resilience makes it an excellent staple for families seeking dependable summer greens.
- Nutrient-Rich Superfood – Naturally high in omega-3s, vitamins, and minerals for healthy meals.
- Thrives in Summer Heat – Stays crisp and green when other vegetables fade.
- Versatile in the Kitchen – Enjoy fresh in salads, tacos, or sautéed for a citrusy kick.
- Easy & Low-Maintenance – Grows quickly, tolerates poor soil, and loves hot, dry weather.
- Pollinator-Friendly Ground Cover – Spreads as a living mulch, suppressing weeds and feeding bees.
How to Grow
Direct sow purslane once the soil warms in late spring, or start seeds indoors 2–3 weeks before your last frost. Press seeds gently into the soil surface and keep moist until sprouted. Purslane thrives in full sun, tolerates poor soils, and shines in hot, dry weather when other greens wither. Baby leaves are ready in just 30–40 days, with cut-and-come-again harvests all season. Its spreading habit creates a natural living mulch that shades soil, suppresses weeds, and attracts pollinators with cheerful yellow blossoms.
