It has smooth, reddish, mostly prostrate stems and alternate leaves clustered at stem joints and ends. The yellow flowers have five regular parts and are up to 6 millimetres (0.24 in) wide. Depending upon rainfall, the flowers appear at anytime during the year. The flowers open singly at the center of the leaf cluster for only a few hours on sunny mornings. Seeds are formed in a tiny pod, which opens when the seeds are mature. Although purslane is considered a weed in the United States, it may be eaten as a leaf vegetable. The stems, leaves and flower buds are all edible. Purslane may be used fresh as a salad, stir-fried, or cooked as spinach is, and because of its mucilaginous quality it also is suitable for soups and stews. ## Features - An annual succulent in the family Portulacaceae - Tolerate poor, compacted soils and drought - Known as Ma Chi Xian in traditional Chinese medicine - Depending upon rainfall, the flowers appear at anytime during the year. - As a companion plant, purslane provides ground cover to create a humid microclimate for nearby plants, stabilising ground moisture. ## Images ![Portulaca Oleracea (Common Purslane/Verdolaga) 2000 Seeds - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41ccBbEl0aL.jpg) ![Portulaca Oleracea (Common Purslane/Verdolaga) 2000 Seeds - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31UCD+fAxSL.jpg) ![Portulaca Oleracea (Common Purslane/Verdolaga) 2000 Seeds - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31D5t6MHU8L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Purslane *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2020* I can't really send a review until it grows ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars These didn't sprout, either . . . *by J***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2019* EDITED 09/17/2019NONE germinated-Tried THREE times, still no sprouts.For plants that are considered to be weeds these are terrible at reproduction.So far I haven't had good fortune w/ the seeds I've ordered from amazon.These didn't sprout so I put them in the freezer for some days to see if that might help get them going.Some seeds won't sprout until they've had 'enough' freezing weatherβ€”what ever that is.I may try to get a refund, the last one I tried refunded my money AND told me to "keep the product".Here's hoping. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars cultivated variety not wild *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2018* grew great, alot of seeds! this is the cultivated variety btw i was looking for the wild version but am still happy with my purchase --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/71275625-portulaca-oleracea-common-purslane-verdolaga-2000-seeds](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/71275625-portulaca-oleracea-common-purslane-verdolaga-2000-seeds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-13*
