Questions & Comments

Its called purslane, grows wild in Michigan, I have never tried eating it but I have pulled alot of it out of my garden. What does it taste like, I guess it would be similiar to eating dandilions?

I have been wanting to find some of this---it's on the list of plants that are good for my rescued tortoises!! How much water do you give it?

I don't think you can kill this plant weather you over water or under water LOL. I just water it with the rest of my perennial plants. It's almost like a succulent plant. I don't think it need that much water at all, it seem to thrive very well on my hard and dry top soil during summer. Definitely a cool looking plant to see. This is my volunteer plant. Must be from my topsoil delivery.
