I planted purslane ONCE and it continues to volunteer every year since, but never comes up until the garden is quite warm, usually in July.

I'd never got germination of purslane before, but this year I sowed it late [say, June 1] co-sowing it with dill, lettuce and beet, and it came up - not the 3 times I sowed it before.

My surmise is it requires warmth...
