72000 Green Purslane Seeds | Non-GMO | Edible Succulent Greens

Green Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is a fast-growing, low-spreading annual known for its fleshy, succulent leaves and stems. This versatile edible green is a favorite in many cultures for fresh salads, stir-fries, and soups, offering a mild, slightly tart flavor. In the garden, it works well as a ground cover, in container plantings, or as part of an edible landscape. Its ability to thrive in hot, dry conditions makes it a reliable choice for challenging spots.

Whether you are growing for the kitchen or looking for a tough, attractive ground cover, green purslane delivers. The plants form a dense mat of bright green foliage and may produce small yellow flowers in summer. Easy to grow from seed, it is a great option for gardeners of all experience levels.

Planting & Care

Sow green purslane seeds directly in the garden after the last frost, or start indoors 4-6 weeks before transplanting. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil evenly moist until seedlings emerge, then thin to the recommended spacing. Once established, purslane requires little care and can tolerate dry spells. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, especially during prolonged heat.

Harvest young leaves and stems for fresh use, and pinch back plants to encourage bushier growth. Purslane can self-seed readily; remove flowers before they set seed if you want to control its spread.
