Completely adorable! Looks like P. amilis. I started a discussion about that particular plant. I think finding in lawn would be the only way to get some?

Can you overwinter Portulaca for the following summer? I did that with Purslane last winter and it worked really well. The Purslane came growing in with a Bougainvillea and that was really what had to be brought inside to protect from freezing temps and it came in too. The Purslane has been really good this summer.

Here's what I have today. I wanted a red and yellow. I carefully chose those colors, but other colors kept popping up in them. I kept pulling the other colors trying to get a mono-colored pot, which is where the multi-color planting and the white came from. Seemed to have finally succeeded on the yellow, but have given up on the red. I'm wanting to overwinter the orange and the white which I dug out for next summer. Possible?

Those pots are just stunning! WOW Thumbs up

I don't have your answer but I would certainly try. Maybe just cut them back and keep them barely watered in filtered sun?

Please let us know!

Thanks Sundra,

The Purslane overwintered really well and the 2nd year growth is much superior to the 1st year growth. It's dense and gets loaded with blooms. I was hoping Portulaca would overwinter since it's a similar plant. The white is like an uber white. Or maybe day-glo white! This family always has super bright colors and that apparently includes white. The orange blooms, on the other hand, are about the quietest color I've seen in a Portulaca. Odd, isn't it, that the screaming color is the white and not the orange?
