• Suitable for sunny vegetable beds, raised beds, and containers with drainage.
• Seeds only; live plants, harvested greens, pots, and accessories are not included.

Sowing Instructions

1. Direct sow outdoors after the last spring frost when the soil is warm. Aim for soil temperatures around 70–85°F.
2. Prepare a fine, well-drained seedbed, or fill containers with a well-draining potting mix.
3. Scatter seeds thinly on the surface and press gently into place. Do not bury deeply; light helps germination.
4. Mist gently to avoid washing away the tiny seeds. Keep the surface lightly moist until seedlings emerge, without waterlogging.
5. Germination commonly takes 7–14 days in warm conditions but may take longer.
6. Thin established seedlings to approximately 6–8 inches apart. For successive harvests, sow small batches every 2–3 weeks during warm weather.

Care

• Choose full sun and well-drained soil. Avoid standing water and heavy, persistently wet soil.
• Although established purslane tolerates dry spells, water moderately for tender eating quality. Let the soil surface dry slightly between waterings.
• Keep weeds clear while seedlings establish. Avoid heavy feeding; modest compost is usually sufficient.
• Allow room for spreading stems. No trellis or climbing support is needed.
• Harvest regularly and remove flower buds before seed capsules mature to limit self-seeding.
• Protect from frost. Containers can help keep this spreading plant within its intended growing area.

Harvest & Kitchen Use

• Harvest young leaves and tender shoot tips once plants are established and have enough growth to spare.
• Snip stems above a leaf joint, leaving several inches of growth for regrowth.
• Wash thoroughly before use. Enjoy tender growth in salads or add it to soups, stir-fries, and other cooked dishes.
• Refrigerate harvested greens promptly. Consume only positively identified edible purslane; do not mix in unidentified garden weeds.
