Why Choose Purslane Red Gruner?

• Succulent Leaves and Stems: Crisp, tender growth brings a distinctive texture to fresh and lightly cooked dishes.
• Bright Tangy Flavor: Young leaves offer a mild lemony note that pairs well with salads, herbs, vegetables, and savory recipes.
• Fast Harvest: Tender growth may be ready to begin harvesting in approximately 25 days under suitable conditions.
• Warm-Weather Performance: Purslane thrives in warmth and can remain productive when many cool-season greens struggle.
• Container Friendly: Compact growth suits patio pots, raised beds, and smaller garden spaces with good drainage.
• Non-GMO Heirloom Seed: Grow a traditional open-pollinated leafy green with a long history of culinary use.

Planting Tips for Success

• Choose Warmth and Sun: Sow after frost danger has passed in a location with full sun and warm soil.
• Sow Shallowly: Purslane seeds are very small, so scatter them over prepared soil, press gently, and cover only lightly.
• Use Well-Draining Soil: Provide loose soil or potting mix that drains freely, since saturated conditions can damage roots.
• Keep Moist During Establishment: Mist or water gently so the tiny seeds are not displaced, maintaining light moisture until seedlings establish.
• Thin for Airflow: Give developing plants room to spread and allow air to move around the succulent foliage.
• Fertilize Lightly: Purslane generally does not need heavy feeding; avoid excessive fertilizer that encourages weak growth.
• Harvest Carefully: Snip tender tips and leaves with clean scissors, leaving enough growth for the plant to continue developing.
• Plan Succession Sowings: Sow additional small batches during warm weather if you want a steadier supply of young leaves.
