Portulaca oleracea variegata 'Pink' is a small, charming, and unique ornamental plant, prized for its variegated foliage and vibrant bloom. A cousin of purslanes, it combines a creeping texture with an explosion of colors. The foliage is fleshy, rounded, and succulent, variegated with light green, cream, and sometimes a slight pink hue, which provides a luminous touch even when not in bloom. The simple or semi-double flowers, a bright, vibrant pink, open in full sun. They appear in abundance during the summer and contrast beautifully with the variegated foliage.
Non-toxic to animals.
