Succulent and delicate, double-flowered Purslane in bright, beautiful colours and look like little roses to me...lovely!

Fleshy stems and leaves, they are one of the very few annual succulents. They tolerate heat and drought and need a sunny position to be grown successfully in poor, sandy or gravelly soils. The soil must be very well-drained.
