Total:

Portulaca, or moss rose, is a low-growing succulent annual that revels in heat, sun and dry conditions where most flowers wilt. Its fleshy, needle-like leaves carpet the ground while jewel-bright single or double blooms in red, pink, yellow, orange, white and magenta open in the sunshine. Perfect for hot terraces, rockeries, edging and hanging baskets, it asks for almost nothing but sunlight and sharp drainage. Flowering all through the Indian summer and monsoon, portulaca is one of the toughest, most rewarding flowers for difficult dry, sunny spots, spreading quickly into a vivid living carpet.

More about this plant

Portulaca 9 O' Clock Care

Portulaca 9 O' Clock White is a low-maintenance succulent that thrives in full sun and blooms brightest during the day, opening its crisp white flowers when the sun is high. Plant it in well-draining, sandy soil and water only when the top layer feels dry, as it stores moisture in its fleshy leaves and dislikes soggy roots. It handles heat and dry spells with ease, making it ideal for Indian summers and busy gardeners who want colour without fuss.

Where to Place Portulaca 9 O' Clock

This sun-loving plant needs at least five to six hours of direct sunlight to flower well, so a south- or west-facing balcony, terrace, windowsill or open garden bed suits it perfectly. Because it comes in a compact 6-inch grow bag, it slots neatly into hanging baskets, railing planters and rock gardens. Keep it away from deep shade, where the blooms stay closed and growth turns leggy.

Portulaca 9 O' Clock Benefits & Uses

Portulaca 9 O' Clock is a fast-spreading ground cover that carpets sunny spots with white blooms while helping suppress weeds and reduce soil erosion. It is drought-tolerant, edible in the wider Portulaca family, and attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies. Gardeners often use it to add quick, season-long colour to borders, containers and terrace gardens with minimal watering.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I water portulaca?
Water sparingly and let the soil dry out between waterings. As a succulent, it is very drought tolerant and rots in soggy soil.
How much sun does portulaca need?
It needs full, direct sun. The flowers actually close in shade and on cloudy days, so the more sun the better.
Is portulaca safe for pets?
Portulaca can be mildly toxic if pets eat it in quantity due to oxalates, so discourage chewing, though small contact is low-risk.
Does portulaca need repotting?
Grown as an annual, it rarely needs repotting; just plant seedlings or cuttings once into well-drained pots or beds.
How do I propagate portulaca?
It is one of the easiest plants to propagate. Stem cuttings root in days in gritty soil, and it also grows readily from seed.
Why are my portulaca flowers not opening?
The blooms only open in bright direct sun. In shade, cloud or evening they stay closed, so move the plant into full sun.
When does portulaca bloom in India?
It blooms right through the hot summer and monsoon, roughly March to October, when many other flowers fail.
Can portulaca grow in pots?
Yes, it is excellent in pots, hanging baskets and shallow containers with gritty, fast-draining soil and full sun.
Is portulaca toxic?
It contains oxalates and can be mildly toxic to pets in large amounts; keep curious pets and children from eating it.
What fertilizer is best for portulaca?
Very little feeding is needed; a light feed once a month is plenty, as it flowers well even in poor, lean soil.
