Portulaca Pilosa Var. Normalis

Pilose portulaca, scientifically known as Portulaca pilosa var. normalis, is a unique and resilient plant native to arid and semi-arid regions. It is characterized by its fuzzy, succulent leaves and vibrant, delicate flowers that bloom in shades of red, pink, and yellow. This plant thrives in hot, dry climates and is often found in rocky soils and disturbed areas. Its ability to store water in its leaves makes it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and low-maintenance gardens. Despite its modest appearance, Pilose portulaca plays an important role in supporting local pollinators and enhancing biodiversity in its ecosystem.
