Portulaca Double Mixed Seed

Portulaca Double Mixed is a succulent, ground hugging plant with prostrate red stems and cylindrical, bright green leaves. The bright coloured flowers, which look like crumpled silk, are carried in profusion throughout the Summer. Ideal for borders or rock gardens, or as pot plants. An annual, it requires a sunny position and grows to a height of 20cm.

Sow 5mm deep in flowering position, scatter thinly and rake in, just covering the seeds with soil, keep moist. Feed with liquid fertiliser when buds appear. Water only when plants show signs of wilting. Sow in spring and early summer.
