Hi I live in North Carolina, will they survive a winter outside? and how can I reproduce them?

No, they won't live in winter. You'll need to bring them indoors and keep them in the sunniest place. Vicki lives in NC so lets ask her: @vic, what have you done for yours?

No, they will not survive and in my case, don't even reseed.

Now this part, I'm going back to Becky @Boopaints - dig it up before first frost and keep in a sunny window and water sparingly. I've only tried it once but I didn't do well with it so I just buy new plants each year. Becky has had tremendous success in overwintering hers - I think

Yes, @vic, I have had success BUT I would just as soon buy new ones too. I worried over the one purslane like a mother hen all winter. It even bloomed once (teeny blooms though) and once I put it outdoors, it took off in the ground. I moved before I found out what happened the next summer.

I live in Georgia and have grown these wonderful flowers for several years! Before the 1st frost I snip off branches and put them in water. They root easily and then I pot them. When planted they do as well as store bought!

Yours are BEAUTIFUL!

I also live in Ga and as Linda does I cut good healthy stems throughout summer and put them in a red solo cup and place them in my kitchen garden window. Within days they have lots of roots and then plant them in small pots, by summer I have many healthy plants to put in baskets. Haven't bought in years unless I see a new color that I want. I do same with portulaca and even mix them sometimes!

I actually managed to keep one here in Florida in between a creepy crawler they blended in and kept each other warm in as low as 45• weather early spring grew like crazy beautiful taking over the pot.And here she is now 2 years later. I propagated it because she grew so full last Summer . Not looking to full for its dormant now beginning of cold weather. I will update early spring to show how well she did this winter. Wish me luck! :

They have done wonderful for you! Keep doing what you're doing
