Dark Pink Purslane Live Plants | Pack of 2 (TWO) | 5-9" Tall | Portulaca Moss Rose | Drought Tolerant Flowering Succulent Groundcover

What You Will Receive: You will receive a Pack of 2 healthy, well-rooted Dark Pink Purslane (Portulaca) starter plants, each currently 5-9 inches tall. Shipped bare-root and ready to plant, these vigorous succulent starts are designed to establish roots rapidly and spread faster than seed-grown alternatives.

Intense Tropical Color: Bring a bold splash of magenta to your landscape. This variety features deep, saturated dark pink blooms that contrast sharply against fleshy green foliage. The flowers open wide in the sunlight, creating a "living carpet" of color that remains vibrant even during the hottest part of the day.

The Perfect "Spiller" & Groundcover: Solve your landscape design gaps instantly. With its low-growing, trailing habit, Dark Pink Purslane is the ideal choice for spilling dramatically over the edges of hanging baskets and window boxes, or for filling in dry, rocky areas of the garden where grass won't grow.

Thrives on Neglect: Stop worrying about watering schedules. This succulent plant stores moisture in its leaves, making it exceptionally drought-tolerant. It actually prefers the soil to dry out between waterings, making it the perfect low-maintenance solution for busy gardeners or hot, sun-baked driveways.

Pollinator Friendly: Bring your garden to life. The open-faced blooms are easily accessible to pollinators, providing a vital nectar source for bees and butterflies in the height of summer. It adds dynamic movement and ecological value to rock gardens and xeriscapes.

Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unwrap gently and soak roots in water for 15 minutes. Plant in sandy, well-draining soil in a location receiving Full Sun (6+ hours). Water initially to establish, then reduce frequency. Essential: Do not overwater; this plant hates "wet feet."

Safe Arrival Guarantee: We ship using eco-friendly, secure packaging designed to protect the delicate succulent stems during transit. While some minor leaf drop is normal due to shipping stress, we guarantee your plants arrive with healthy, viable root systems ready to hydrate and grow.

Bold Color That Loves the Sun

Transform the hottest, driest spots in your garden into a showcase of color with our 2-Pack of Dark Pink Purslane. Often called Moss Rose, this resilient succulent is the answer for gardeners who want high-impact beauty with zero fuss. While other flowers wither in the mid-summer heat, Purslane thrives, opening its deep pink blooms to soak up the sun and turning your patio or rock garden into a vibrant tropical escape.

A Rugged Survivor Don't let the delicate-looking flowers fool you; this plant is as tough as they come. Its fleshy, needle-like leaves are designed to store water, allowing it to withstand droughts and neglect that would kill other bedding plants.

In Containers: It cascades beautifully, softening the edges of pots and hanging baskets.

In the Ground: It acts as a dense, weed-suppressing groundcover that hugs the soil, perfect for rockeries or curbside strips.

Vigorous & Fast-Growing

Zones 9-11: In frost-free climates, it acts as a perennial, providing color year-round.

Zones 3-8: In cooler climates, it is a fast-growing annual that fills in space rapidly from spring until the first frost.
