Jumbo Peachy Cream Purslane | Portulaca oleracea ‘Jumbo Peachy Cream’ | Portulaca ‘Jumbo Peachy Cream’ | Ornamental Purslane ‘Jumbo Peachy Cream’

Jumbo Peachy Cream Purslane is a vigorous, heat-loving succulent (grown as an annual in cooler climates) prized for its continuous display of extra-large, cup-shaped flowers in a soft, elegant blend of warm peach, apricot, and creamy white that open wide to greet the sun. This exceptional selection is known for its spreading, trailing habit, outstanding heat and drought tolerance, and nonstop flowering from late spring until frost. Its nectar-rich blossoms draw bees and butterflies, making it a standout choice for hanging baskets, mixed containers, rock gardens, and hot, sunny landscape borders. With its fleshy green foliage and reliable performance in harsh, dry conditions, Jumbo Peachy Cream offers delicate, pastel color and lush texture with minimal maintenance.

Growing Jumbo Peachy Cream Purslane

Light: Full sun; requires strong, direct sunlight to produce the most abundant blooms and for the extra-large flowers to open fully during the day.

Soil: Well-drained soil; highly adaptable to various soil types, including poor, rocky, or sandy soils, but will not tolerate soggy, waterlogged roots.

Water: Low; water regularly until established, then it becomes exceptionally drought-tolerant due to its succulent leaves, requiring supplemental watering only during extreme dry spells. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings.

Maintenance: No deadheading required—plants are completely self-cleaning.

Wildlife: Highly attractive to bees and butterflies; generally resistant to deer and rabbits.

Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 10–11; grown as an annual in cooler regions.
