Common Green Purslane Seeds are a useful leafy crop for fresh salads, stir-fries and seasonal kitchen harvests. This packet contains approximately 1000 seeds.

Common Green is ideal for gardeners who like quick, repeat harvests and fresh leaves picked as needed. Sow successionally for a longer cropping period and keep plants evenly watered for tender, good-quality leaves.

Botanical name: Portulaca oleracea

🌱 Sowing

Sow May to August, either direct or in modules.
Sow thinly and cover lightly with compost.
Label your sowings clearly and keep young seedlings protected from slugs.

🪴 Planting Out

Keep soil evenly moist to encourage quick, even growth.
Harden off indoor-raised plants gradually before moving them outside.
Water well after planting to help roots establish.

☀️ Growing Conditions

Position: Sun or partial shade
Habit: Fast-growing leafy crop
Thin or transplant to give plants room to develop.

✂️ Harvesting / Use

Harvest baby leaves young or allow plants to mature, depending on preference.
Harvest in dry weather where possible and handle produce or flowers gently.
Use fresh for the best flavour, colour or display quality.

💡 Top Tips

Sow little and often for crops where repeat harvests are useful.
Keep young plants weed-free so they are not competing for light and nutrients.
Check plants regularly during warm weather, as containers and raised beds can dry quickly.
