Portulaca oleracea variegata, commonly known as Variegated Purslane, is a striking and easy-to-grow perennial plant that makes a beautiful addition to any garden or hanging basket. This low-growing, ground-covering plant produces dense carpets of light green leaves that are edged in lemon yellow and cream, which transition to a stunning hot pink in bright light.

What makes this plant even more unique are the pure hot pink extreme variegated offsets that sometimes occur, giving it a standout appearance in any setting. Portulaca oleracea variegata is a great choice for gardeners who want a low-maintenance, colorful plant that can thrive in warm climates.

One of the best features of this plant is the hot pink flowers that cover the foliage from mid-summer to autumn. These bright blooms provide a striking contrast against the variegated leaves and add a burst of color to any garden or hanging basket.

While Portulaca oleracea variegata is easy to grow in warm climates, it does require some protection from the cold in cooler regions of Australia. In cold climates, the plant will go dormant over winter and should be protected from cold and frost and watered very sparingly. Gardeners in colder regions may choose to overwinter their Portulaca oleracea variegata in a green house or bring it indoors to protect it from the cold.

Overall, Portulaca oleracea variegata is a beautiful and unique plant that is sure to catch the eye of any gardener. With its stunning variegated foliage, bright pink flowers, and low-maintenance requirements, it's a great choice for anyone looking to add some color and interest to their garden or hanging baskets.
