The Portulaceae family also includes the ornamental wingpod purslane (P. umbraticola) and moss rose (P. grandiflora). Rather than being grown for food or medicine, these species are often cultivated for their flowers. The perennial wingpod type has green, rounded leaves, reddish stems, and yellow blossoms while the annual moss rose is a desert plant, often with spiky leaves, that may produce flowers in a variety of colors. Common purslane, on the other hand, looks a little like a tiny jade plant, and you can eat the leaves, stems, flowers, and seeds, either raw or cooked. Growing Purslane The hardest part about growing purslane is finding it. Once you have decided to grow purslane, you may find that although you have been pulling it out of your flower beds for years, it has suddenly disappeared. Once you do find a purslane plant, you can either harvest some seeds or trim off a few stems. All purslane needs to grow is part to full sun and clear ground. The plants aren’t picky about soil type or nutrition, but purslane does tend to grow better in drier soil. If you decide to plant purslane seeds, simply scatter the seeds over the area where you plan on growing the purslane. Don’t cover the seeds with soil. Purslane seeds need light to germinate so they must stay on the surface of the soil. If you are using purslane cuttings, lay them on the ground where you plan on growing purslane. Water the stems and they should take root in the soil in a few days.
