Customers praised these purslane plants as "gorgeous" with "beautiful flowers" and excellent packaging. Most arrived healthy and thriving. However, some shoppers reported smaller-than-expected size for the price, and a few experienced transplant shock leading to plant death across various sun conditions.

I was extremely excited to order those Mojave Yellow Purslane (Portulacas) because they supposedly can take full-sum and a few locations of my gardens are full-sun.
They started dying right away after transplanting. After a week or so, I moved them to a more shared area… A week later, unfortunately, they were completely dead.
I don't understand.
Full shade - They died
Part shade - They died
Part Sun - They died
Full Sun - They definitely died
I am extremely disappointed.

Hi Hermine,

I see that you had these and other plants replaced. Are there any more plants from your orders that need replaced?

Sincerely,
PWD Team

Great size of plants and all arrived extremely well packed and healthy. So easy to order when I know I plant these every year and sometimes hard to find yellow at my local garden centers. Have ordered multiple times through proven winners and I am always impressed with the packaging. Do not hesitate at all to make purchases again and again

Thank you for sharing!! We're so happy to hear that you are enjoying your plants! :)

great color, hard to find yellow portulaca, put them in hanging baskets, and the magenta one I put near the hummingbird feeders since they notice the color more than other colors

Thank you for sharing!! Enjoy :)
