Shoreline sea-purslane

Plant stem cuttings in sandy, well-drained soil in full sun; this remarkable halophyte naturally colonizes tidal flats, beach margins, and coastal dunes where few other edibles survive, tolerating periodic saltwater flooding and saline spray. The succulent, bright-green to purplish leaves and stems have a pleasantly salty, crisp flavor — rinse before eating to reduce saltiness — and are excellent raw in salads, briefly stir-fried, or used as a sea-vegetable garnish. The plant forms a dense, prostrate mat that suppresses weeds and helps stabilize sandy soils against erosion. In zone 9–11 it is a reliable perennial that can be harvested throughout the year. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження живцюванням Відстань між рослинами: 18–24 дюймів Висота: 6–12 дюймів Дні до схожості: 7–14 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 21–27°C
