Description
The thick creeping red stems of the 'Kariba' Mixed F2 Hybrid Large-flowered Purslane bear cylindrical leaves that are 2 to 3 cm (1in) long, green and succulent (with water-filled flesh). Together, they form a small cushion of leaves about ten centimetres high and 30 cm (12in) wide. When in flower, the plant can reach up to 15 cm (6in) in height.
The double flowers bloom from June to September, measuring 2 to 4 cm (1 to 2in). The corollas, arranged in wide frilled cups, resemble roses resting on a mossy carpet. This is what gave it the name "Rose Moss" in England. The drier the summer, the more the Purslane flowers. The colours are vibrant and highly varied: red, orange, cream, purple, and more.
The Kariba Mixed F2 Hybrid Large-flowered Purslane is an annual plant that thrives in heat and poor, rocky soils. It can tolerate drought very well, making it ideal for planting in a sunny rockery or growing in pots on the terrace and window boxes. The Purslane will also appreciate Rocky slopes and walls. Once established, the Purslane or Portulaca grandiflora 'Kariba' Mixed F2 Hybrid will not require any particular maintenance.

Planting and care
Sow the Purslane with large 'Kariba' Mixed F2 Hybrid flowers from February to May in a tray. Use good quality soil, which you will sift on the surface to bind the seed to its substrate. Before sowing, lightly press the soil with a board. Scatter your seeds. Cover the seeds by sprinkling soil on top or vermiculite, lightly press and water generously with a fine rain. Place your tray in light, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 18°C (64.4°F) to 21°C (69.8°F). Lower the temperature at night to 16°C (60.8°F) to create a beneficial alternation for germination.
The seeds will germinate in 7 to 14 days. When the plants are manageable, transplant them into 7cm (3in) pots. Keep the soil moist but not excessive during growth. Then, 15 days before their final placement, start gradually acclimatising them to a temperature of 15°C (59°F).
By the end of May or early June, the temperature in the garden will be warm enough to plant your young plants. Choose a sunny location. Add a good handful of compost to each planting hole. Space your plants 30 cm (12in) apart.
Regularly remove faded flowers to maintain beauty and encourage repeat flowering.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
