How do I use DELOSPERMA Suntropics ® Purple?
This perennial purslane is highly resistant to drought and sea spray, and is hardy to -5°C. It flourishes easily in large pots on a balcony or terrace, but in winter it needs to be protected indoors, in a conservatory or greenhouse, to preserve its health.
