Can't remember which one it is, but the purslane with the tiny blue flowers enclosed in a "ruff" germinated very well for me and grew well in a pot, then escaped and produced 6-8in high plants in the garden which kept going for several years. Wet clay in a frost hollow.
I decided that they were too insipid to be worth bothering with.
