Purslane

Purslane (Portulaca oleracea) is a hardy, low-growing annual plant known for its succulent, fleshy leaves and colorful blooms. Purslane is actually edible and packed with nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, and antioxidants. Its flowers, which come in shades of yellow, pink, red, and orange, bloom during the warmer months. Purslane thrives in full sun and it is highly tolerant of heat and drought, making it an ideal plant for dry, low-maintenance locations. While often found growing wild, it is also utilized in gardens for its aesthetic and culinary uses, especially in salads, soups, or as a garnish.
