Portulaca grandiflora is a succulent flowering plant in the purslane family Portulacaceae, native to southern Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay and often cultivated in gardens. It has many common names, including rose moss, eleven o'clock, Mexican rose, moss rose, sun rose, table rose, rock rose, and moss-rose purslane.
Use moss rose as a ground cover for hot areas. It combines well in containers with other plants that also thrive in hot, sunny sites such as nasturtium and zinnia. The fine texture of moss rose contrasts well with the bold rounded leaves of nasturtium, while its short stature contrasts with all types of zinnias.
