Pink Glow 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 'Pink Glow' Portulaca starter plants, each currently 5-9 inches tall. Shipped bare-root and ready to plant, these vigorous succulent starts establish quickly, offering a faster route to a blooming groundcover than seeds or unrooted cuttings.

A Luminous Garden Highlight: Soften your landscape with color that seems to radiate light. 'Pink Glow' features iridescent, soft pink petals that brighten towards the center, creating a glowing effect against the fleshy green foliage. Unlike harsh neons, this variety offers a sophisticated, cheerful pop of color that looks stunning in morning sunlight.

The Ultimate "Spiller" Solution: Transform boring containers instantly. With its cascading growth habit, this Portulaca is the perfect choice for spilling gracefully over the edges of hanging baskets, window boxes, and strawberry pots. It softens hard edges of retaining walls and walkways with a carpet of blooms.

Thrives on Neglect: Stop worrying about missed waterings. 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 Oasis: Invite nature to your patio. The open-faced pink 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 due to heat stress.

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.

Add a Radiating Glow to Your Summer Garden

Transform the hottest, driest spots in your garden into a showcase of luminous color with our 2-Pack of 'Pink Glow' Portulaca. Often called Moss Rose, this resilient succulent is the answer for gardeners who want high-impact beauty with zero fuss. 'Pink Glow' is special because of its unique petal quality—the pink hue has a shimmering, iridescent quality that catches the sunlight, making the flowers look like they are glowing from within.

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 glowing pink.

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!
