Some varieties are truly perennial. I have a large-flowered single white variety (don't know the name of the variety, unfortunately) that has survived for several years. It barely makes it through the winters here in zone 10a (Sunset zone 22), and looks terrible until the middle of the summer, but it still amazes me because I still have it.
Portulaca plants are typically grown as annuals, meaning they complete their life cycle in one growing season. However, in warmer climates, they may behave as perennials and come back year after year.

Plants that resemble portulaca include several other succulent perennials, such as Sedum and Delosperma. These plants often have fleshy leaves and colorful flowers, thriving in similar conditions of full sun and well-drained soil. Another similar option is the moss rose (Portulaca grandiflora), which is often confused with other Portulaca species due to its vibrant blooms and trailing habit. When selecting plants, look for those with a similar growth habit and flower characteristics to portulaca.
