Imagine a carpet of jewel-bright crimson blooms spreading across your garden all summer long — that's the magic of Moss Rose. Portulaca Grandiflora Red is a sun-loving, drought-tolerant ground cover that thrives where other plants struggle. Its rounded, double, fragrant red flowers nestle above succulent dark-green foliage, creating a stunning contrast that stops visitors in their tracks.
Whether you're filling a dry slope, edging a path, or brightening a rock garden, this aggressive grower delivers season-long color with minimal effort.
Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost, or direct sow outdoors after all frost danger has passed. Cut back mid-summer to keep plants tidy and extend blooming into fall.

Are Moss Rose seeds easy to grow for beginners?
Absolutely. Portulaca is one of the most forgiving annuals you can grow — it thrives on neglect, loves heat, and asks for very little water once established.
Do the flowers close at night or on cloudy days?
Yes, Moss Rose blooms open in full sun and close in the evening or on overcast days — a charming natural rhythm that makes them even more special.
Can I grow Portulaca in containers or pots?
Yes! They perform beautifully in pots, hanging baskets, and window boxes. Just make sure the container has good drainage and gets at least 6 hours of direct sun daily.
Will Moss Rose reseed itself for next year?
Often yes — Portulaca self-seeds readily in warm climates, so you may get a pleasant surprise return the following season.
How do I store unused seeds?
Keep them in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Properly stored, Portulaca seeds remain viable for 2–3 years.
