Moss Rose (Portulaca Grandiflora Pink) - You can't ask for a prettier ground cover plant for the hot, sunny garden. Moss Rose establishes easily from pink Portulaca seeds, and it's a good choice for hot, dry areas. It also works well along borders, beds and in hot rock gardens. Portulaca Moss Rose plants make a good hanging basket or window box plant with foliage and flowers spilling over the edges. The bright pink 1 inch wide flowers close in the afternoon and reopen in the morning. Moss Rose ground cover seed is very fine, but it germinates quickly and will soon be producing gorgeous blooms.
Sow Moss Rose seeds in starter trays or individual pots 6 - 8 weeks before end of frost season. Press the Moss Rose seeds into the soil but do not cover. The seeds need light to germinate. Transplant pink Moss Rose seedlings into the garden 12 inches apart. Moss Rose ground cover seed can also be directly sown in prepared soil outdoors after all danger of frost. Moss Rose plants tolerate heat and drought, but they do look best with occasional watering. Moss Rose plant care includes cutting back the plants during the summer to help them to stay neat and to extend their blooms into fall.
