They arrived very healthy and fresh!

They arrived very healthy and tight-- not leggy. Planted them immediately and they remained healthy, but didn't bloom. Finally the blooms began showing up, so all is good!

I love the fuchsia purslane I ordered from PED. I have had it in a few spots (container) since I received it. Right now I have it on a plant stand outside my kitchen window where I can easily see it blooming when I walk into the kitchen.

Wendy,
Thank you for sharing!! Enjoy :)

I just love this so much. You can buy other purslane, but they don't perform as well as this Proven Winner variety by far. I really hope for more colors!!

Was pleasantly surprised how well the plants were shipped and the size and health of the plants. I will continue to order my plants online from PW from now on. Great performers and plants are thriving here in TX.
