Portulaca grandiflora 'Double Cerise' (Double Cerise Moss Rose) - An evergreen perennial, often used as an annual, low-growing succulent 3 to 9 inches tall by 1 to 2 feet wide with succulent narrow lanceolate 1 inch long green leaves along reddish stems and bright colored 3 inch wide cerise colored double flowers that appear summer through fall. Plant in full sun in a well-drained soil and water occasionally to infrequently. Hardy to a light frost - treat it as a tender perennial in USDA Hardiness Zones 9 through 11 and an annual elsewhere. A great plant for containers, hanging baskets, as a ground cover in a rock garden or sprawling over a wall or around other larger succulents.
