These look like my Portulacas. My mom had these around her lamp post and in the beds around the shrubs when I was growing up. They still come up at the lamp post.

They are Portulacas -- I just used the common name. This is the first time I have grown both these and the Dusty Millers in many, many years.
I am enjoying seeing their familiar little faces again!

They grow up to 8" high and make a 1-2' spreading mat. They like arid conditions. Mine would benefit by dryer soil, but the rain keeps coming!
They are a succulent, so I don't know how they would do in an Aerogarden.

Do you want me to see if I still have seeds? If so I can send you some and @cornne too if I do. Mine are a different variety |

Shawn, they will grow a lot faster from cuttings, so I will do it that way.
But thank you so much!
