These moss roses, also called Portulaca grandiflora, do well where it’s hot and dry. So these are in a pot on our front porch, which has a southern exposure.
You can see in this photo that the leaves are succulent — that is, the leaves retain water, like an aloe plant. They’re also stupid easy to grow and keep alive. Moss roses are one of my favorite kinds of flowers.

Recently discovered and LOVE these little darlings.
Are they easy to root to share with friends? I’ve read they can be problematic. Directions were a headache!
Anyone?
