Purslane (Portulaca grandiflora) is a heat and drought tolerant annual plant native to the hot, arid plains of Uruguay, Argentina, and southern Brazil. This herbaceous plant from the Portulacaceae (purslane) family is grown worldwide as an annual garden because its attractive flowers bloom with little care all summer.
Purslane is among the 3 most important species[1] of portulaca. It has several common names, including rock rose, the sun rose, Mexican rose, eleven o’clock, and rose moss.
