purslane?

10 years ago

portulaca oleracea I planted this in my south flower bed in July. It has grow so much I cut it way back this week. I just threw the cuttings in the flower bed. Am I going to have this stuff come up everywhere? Or will a frost kill it? Or should I pick it up and put in the compost? I don't really want it to take over the bed. Thanks.

A frost will kill it, but it may selfseed. Check the cuttings for ripe seedpods and tiny seeds.
