Introducing the vibrant Portulaca grandiflora, commonly known as Moss Rose or Rose Moss—an exceptional choice for your garden this season! Native to the sun-drenched plains of Argentina, southern Brazil, and Uruguay, this drought and heat tolerant annual thrives in the hottest environments with minimal maintenance. As a member of the Portulacaceae family, Moss Rose dazzles with its spectacular, showy blooms that illuminate your garden all summer long.

This semi-succulent wonder boasts fleshy, bright green leaves that retain moisture, making it ideal for areas where other plants falter. The blooms, with their 2.5–3 cm diameter vibrancy, come in an array of red, orange, pink, white, and yellow hues, offering a kaleidoscope of color to transform any space. Perfect for edging walkways, mass planting, or enhancing rock gardens, Moss Rose is versatile and visually striking.

Easily grown from seed, Portulaca grandiflora flourishes in full sun and well-drained soil, thriving in lean, sandy, or gravelly conditions. As an ideal companion in containers or as groundcover, it complements gardens with its lush, cascading beauty. Whether adorning rock walls or nestled among flagstone paths, this resilient plant brings undeniable charm and endless cheer. Choose Moss Rose for a dazzling, low-maintenance addition to your landscape today!
