Purslane
Purslane is an annual broadleaf weed that grows in a mat-like shape, choking-out lawns, vegetables and flowers. It is succulent with reddish-brown stems and small green leaves that have a rubbery texture. Small yellow flowers bloom from late spring through summer. Purslane thrives in hot, dry weather—the stems and leaves store water, allowing this weed to sustain during drought.
Location
Purslane is found throughout the United States.
