The Wingpod Purslane is a short-lived perennial that has upright fleshy stems with fleshy leaves and big colourful flowers. The Wingpod is drought tolerant so allow the soil to dry out between watering's. This plant can die if over watered. Wingpod creates a dense mat of foliage making it perfect for hanging baskets, ground cover in gardens and rockeries. It is a very low-maintenance plant – little attention is needed, just the occasional trim back.
