Isn't this a great annual for the hot summer months?!

I've just added some images, and I'm intruiged by the listing saying "unusual leaf colour". Mine are typically green but some are.....?

Moss Rose (Portulaca grandiflora)

Obviously checked off in error, I removed it.

The Portulaca grandiflora cultivars are so much more beautiful than the P. oleracea varieties- the succulent, cylindrical leaves provide a beautiful, fine-textured accent, and a foil to the beautiful double, color-saturated 'rose-blossoms', which cover the plant. The only downside, in my opinion, is the fact that the flowers do not stay open for long- often for only half a day- but the plant breeders are gradually increasing the length of time of the floral display, and most new cultivars have flowers that stay open for most of the day.

@A_muse_mentality, Larry, this would be a wonderful comment added to the actual database entry itself for others to read. You can click on the link in the first post and click the Add a Comment on the left side.

Is this variety edible? If I could get it started this late in the season (end of July, I'm in zone 7, north central AR) could I bring some in in a flat or planter to overwinter, maybe harvest some for winter salads and get a head start on setting out next spring?

I'm thrilled to have found this site! Now I know where to go with all my gardening questions. in advance!
