Moss Rose, a succulent flowering plant also known as Portulaca, hails from Argentina, Uruguay and southern Brazil. It is a tough, resilient plant with bright, almost fluorescent blooms ranging from single to fully double and colors from white, cream and yellow to pink, orange and red. Their succulent leaves are a clue to their wonderful drought-tolerance. The trailing habit of the Moss Rose works perfectly for hanging baskets but also serves as wonderful ground cover since it never goes out of its bounds. Since it flourishes in poor soil, it would work well in a rock garden or stacked rock wall where it will delicately cascade down.
They need six to eight hours of full sun to reach their potential. If you try to grow Moss Rose in a shady area, they will close up their flowers, which also occurs at night and on rainy days. Moss Rose needs a well-drained soil, are drought-tolerant and will tolerate periods of dryness but they aren’t cacti. They perform best with regular watering. Moss Rose is a perfect option for xeriscaping.
