Portulaca oleracea is an annual succulent with smooth stems, fleshy oval leaves and small yellow flowers.
Botanical characteristics
Its low, often spreading habit distinguishes it from many upright salad herbs. The flowers open briefly and are followed by capsules that release small dark seeds, allowing ready self-seeding in suitable conditions.
Green and golden leaf references
Green Purslane, Golden Purslane and Yellow Broadleaved preserve useful foliage labels for seed retailers. This is the vegetable purslane group, distinct from ornamental Portulaca grandiflora.
