So glad to be of help! Native purslane is rather small, but the more robust cultivated variety should grow well in a garden in your area. Watch out for those wet rainy seasons though, when purslane can succumb to soggy weather.

Thanks for this info. I ate a fair amount of purslane on a peach-farm near the Mojave Desert, and I was so fond of it, I have been thinking of it for years after, though neither knowing the correct spelling or how to identify it. Now I can begin enjoying this great and abundant gift here in Bradenton Florida. Thanks again!

Thank you so much! Just what I needed today. I am trying to find natural plants for my sister who just moved to Florida and needs to supplement their diet naturally for financial reasons. I am sending her this article and thanks again. Michele
