Jumbo Yellow Portulaca Live Plants | Pack of 2 (TWO) | 5-9" Tall | Moss Rose Purslane | Drought Tolerant

What You Will Receive: You will receive a Pack of 2 healthy, well-rooted 'Jumbo Yellow' Portulaca starter plants, each currently 5-9 inches tall. Shipped bare-root and ready to plant, these vigorous succulent starts establish quickly, offering a fast-track solution to filling your garden with golden color.

Bottled Sunshine for Your Garden: Brighten up even the dullest corners with blooms that look like miniature suns. The 'Jumbo' variety is prized for its extra-large, silky yellow flowers that stand out dramatically against the fleshy green foliage. It creates a cheerful, golden carpet that opens wide to greet the morning sun.

The Ultimate Low-Water "Spiller": Create professional-looking containers with zero effort. With its trailing growth habit, this Portulaca is the perfect choice for spilling over the edges of hanging baskets, window boxes, or strawberry pots. It softens hard edges and brings vertical interest to your patio arrangements.

Thrives Where Others Burn: Stop watering dead plants. Known as the "Sun Plant," this succulent stores water in its leaves, making it exceptionally drought-tolerant. It is the ideal candidate for scorching driveways, curbside strips, or rock gardens where heat radiates and delicate flowers fail.

Pollinator Friendly: Invite nature to the party. The open-faced yellow blooms act as a landing pad for honeybees and butterflies, providing a crucial source of nectar during the hottest parts of the summer when other sources may be scarce.

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 to establish, then let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Crucial: Ensure your pot has drainage holes; this plant hates "wet feet."

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

Bring the Golden Glow of Summer to Your Doorstep

Add a splash of pure joy to your outdoor space with our 2-Pack of Jumbo Yellow Portulaca. Often called Moss Rose, this plant is the definition of "high reward, low effort." While standard varieties are beautiful, the 'Jumbo' strain delivers larger, more impactful blooms that transform your garden into a sea of gold. Whether you are looking to brighten a rockery or create a trailing masterpiece in a hanging basket, these yellow blooms deliver reliable, cheerful color.

A Succulent That Loves the Sun Portulaca is nature’s answer to the heatwave. If you have a spot in your yard that gets baking hot sun—perhaps near a concrete driveway or a west-facing wall—this is the plant for you. Its needle-like succulent foliage holds moisture, allowing it to thrive on neglect.

In the Ground: It creates a dense, weed-suppressing mat of gold.

In Pots: It cascades elegantly, requiring far less water than petunias or geraniums.

Vigorous & Adaptable

Zones 9-11: In frost-free climates, it acts as a perennial groundcover.

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

Important Note on Blooms: Portulaca flowers are light-sensitive. They open wide in the sunshine and close at night or on cloudy days, preserving their energy. It’s a living plant that reacts to the weather!
