About Moss Rose
Moss roses are native to Uruguay, Brazil and Argentina. The first seeds were collected at the foot of the Andes Mountains by Dr. John Gilles, who was a Scottish physician, explorer and botanist. He sent many of his discoveries to England’s Royal Botanic Gardens. Portulaca has been popular in the United States for at least 200 years. Moss Rose has a long history in gardening, so it is no wonder that the plant is among the most popular!
