Grow a resilient, nutrient-dense green with Purslane Seeds from Survival Garden Seeds. Purslane (Portulaca oleracea), also known as verdolagas, is a time-tested heirloom enjoyed worldwide for its bright, lemony flavor and exceptional nutritional value. Naturally rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals, it provides reliable fresh greens during the hottest months when many crops struggle.

This low-growing, spreading plant thrives in heat and poor soil, making it an excellent choice for summer gardens, raised beds, and edible landscapes. Purslane’s crisp leaves and tender stems are delicious fresh or cooked, while its cheerful yellow flowers support pollinators and contribute to a healthy garden ecosystem.

Nutritious, Heat-Loving Heirloom Green:
Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is known for:

• Succulent leaves with a tangy, citrus-like flavor
• High natural omega-3 content and valuable nutrients
• Rapid growth and dependable summer production

Why Customers Love Purslane:

• Provides fresh greens during hot, dry weather
• Naturally nutrient-rich superfood for everyday meals
• Easy to grow with minimal maintenance
• Versatile in salads, tacos, soups, and sautés
• Spreads as a living mulch that suppresses weeds
• Attracts bees with small yellow blossoms

How to Use / How to Grow:
Direct sow seeds outdoors once soil has warmed in late spring, or start indoors 2–3 weeks before the last frost. Press seeds gently onto the soil surface, as light aids germination, and keep soil moist until seedlings emerge. Grow in full sun for best flavor and productivity. Purslane tolerates poor soils and drought once established. Baby leaves are ready to harvest in approximately 30–40 days, with cut-and-come-again harvesting all season long.

Harvest & Use:
Harvest young stems and leaves regularly to encourage fresh growth. Enjoy raw for a crisp, tangy bite or lightly cooked for a tender texture. Purslane’s spreading habit also makes it useful as an edible ground cover in garden beds and pathways.
