I have Portulaca planted with mine in full sun, soil on the dry side. I love the bright colors! It's an ideal plant for hot, dry locations (but doesn't seem to mind the rain or being watered), spreads out nicely, and requires no maintenance whatsoever. I've been told it reseeds, so I am keeping my fingers crossed it comes back next year.

Interestingly enough, I have another patch of Crocosmia (not pictured, planted with blue annual lobelia at it's feet) that's in a part shade location where the soil stays evenly moist. This patch has flowers starting to open now, whereas my hot/dry location patch is still probably about 2 weeks from flowering.
