Portulaca cu flori duble mix – floarea de piatra, inflorire abundenta si rezistenta la seceta
Portulaca, also known by the popular name stone flower, is an annual succulent plant, appreciated for its vibrant flowers in shades of pink, yellow, orange, red, or white, and for its ability to bloom abundantly in the sunniest and warmest corners of the garden. The leaves are fleshy, cylindrical or linear, and its trailing habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, planters, rock gardens, or as ground cover.
Being extremely drought-resistant and low-maintenance, portulaca is ideal for beginner gardeners or for areas where other plants do not survive.
