Tiffany, thank you, that's the one. It shows up on its own.

YW. I love that about it too, I found a whole patch in our lawn!!

I've never seen it and I love it too, Christine.

Last year I bought some mixed Portulaca and there were some colors I tried to separate out and overwinter. My favorite was a white one. Overwintering the plants wasn't successful, but the containers had reseeded. I was especially pleased with this one today .

Oh, Donald, I love the white portulaca!

That is beautiful!

Oh wow very pretty Donald!

Oh wow! Do you remember what the name of this variety was, and where did you buy the seeds.

I'm thinking about expanding into old fashioned portulacas and I would love to know what is everyones' favorites and where you all got your portulaca seeds.

I don't use seeds because of the patience factor. I buy my portulaca at Summer Winds Nursery in Phoenix.



This one is by Maridell and I'm not sure if she's still around.

I bought plants last year at the local garden center. They were bedding plants, I guess, which were grown by John's Greenhouses, LTD in Weatherford, TX. They were mixed colors and were called 'Happy Hour' (trademark). There were about three colors I tried to separate away from the others and the white was one of those. I attempted to overwinter them, but eventually they died. Then this spring these seedlings came up in those containers. So these white ones came from seeds furnished from the 'Happy Hour' plants that were white. The white ones have all bloomed white. The other two containers mostly ran true, but not quite. There were whites in both of them as well as some other colors.

I'm sending a new member over here for some Portulaca help. I'm not as familiar with it so hope someone can help her,
