Greens Purslane

Purslane is an edible herb grown as an annual in USDA zones 3 - 10. Only reaching 6 - 10 inches tall, this portulaca will grow a yellow flower. Purslane is a succulent, sprawling, annual plant that you can see growing in lawns and meadows. It has an upright growth habit with juicy, succulent oval leaves and mild sweet-sour flavor. Plants will re-grow after cutting. The leaves and stems are great raw in salads. You can steam them or add them to soups, stews, and other vegetable dishes. All of our plants are grown right here on our farm in Hendricks county without any chemical intervention. Seeds saved from plants grown locally will grow and produce better then plants grown in foreign environments with different soil, weather and moisture then what we have here. All of the seed that we grow and sell are from non-hybrid heirloom varieties that are all non gmo and open pollinated. All of our seed saving work is done by hand without machines so you will get some plant material and chaff in with the seed. All seed packets have been made from recycled magazines. Approximately200 seeds per packet.
