I purchased a purslane plant this past summer and not knowing much about it's growth habit, planted it in the flowerbed..it was beautiful but become a bit invasive. I will only plant it in a pot/patio container the next time. Mine was yellow and since we had such a hot summer of many days 90-103 days, it did well. I read somewhere on some blog or website or cubit to only plant it in a pot/container or hanging basket. Would love to get another color next year.
