still bloom?

Janine,

I have never had much luck starting them from seed this late
in the season. I doubt if you will have any luck with them
if you plant them where you have traffic from a large dog.
They are fairly tender and break off easily. One good thing
about breaking them off is that you can stick them in moist
soil and they will start a new plant. I have stared many
planters that way for my neighbors from my plants.

I have some pictures of my Portulaca (Moss Rose) on my web
site along with many other pictures from my and my
neighbor's gardens.
