The appearance of purslane is as appealing as its taste. It forms a low-growing mat with fleshy, prostrate stems and thick, paddle-shaped leaves that can range from green to reddish-green. Small, charming yellow flowers emerge in the summer, adding a touch of brightness to your garden. All parts of the plant – the leaves, stems, and flowers – are edible and boast a unique, slightly lemony flavor. Purslane can be enjoyed raw in salads, blended into smoothies, or cooked into various dishes like soups, stews, and stir-fries, offering endless culinary possibilities.

Cultivating purslane from seed is a straightforward process. For best results, sow the seeds directly into your garden after the last frost has passed. Alternatively, you can start them indoors a few weeks prior to the expected last frost date to get a head start. Thinning the seedlings as they grow will ensure proper spacing and robust plant development. With minimal care, primarily appropriate fertilization and moderate watering, your purslane plants will thrive, providing you with a continuous supply of fresh, homegrown goodness. Embrace the simplicity and rewards of growing this exceptional herb in your outdoor space.
