**We've noticed bees visiting the multicoloured blooms on these creeping plants; add a splash of colour to your garden too.** These semi-succulent creeping plants produce flowers in summer in shades of red, pink, purple, white or yellow, and look fabulous while they do. They are also edible, and you can harvest the leaves throughout the summer to add to salads and soups. Our pots of Purslanes probably contain a couple of different plants in them to get a mix of flower colours. If you collect the seed from this annual in autumn after flowering, you will probably get a new mix of colours as cross-pollination will mean they are not exact copies. We'd love to see what you end up with if you try this! | Annual | Edible flowering semi-succulent with creeping growth pattern | Flowers in summer; harvest leaves from May to November. | | ------ | ------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------------------------------------------- | **Scientific Name** Portulaca
