portulaca,sundial scarlet


Question
i have my sundial scarlet in a pot.how do i care for them in the winter,and will they still get flowers on them.first time growing them and not sure.     thank you

Answer
Hi Opalmarie,
Thanx for your question.  Portulaca is an annual commonly grown in the U.S. as a bedding plant.  It is related to the purslane which is edible.  You will not be able to overwinter them.  The variety you mention is a hybrid and will not come true from seed because hybrids are genetically unstable.  I hope this helps.
Tom
