Product Description
Oxalis, in general, has a bad name with gardeners as it includes some notoriously invasive species. However, Oxalis adenophylla is not one of these. It is non-spreading, and makes a choice, compact flowering plant for a raised bed or container. The grey-green foliage is made up of a series of heart-shaped leaves joined together at the tips to make circular fans, which provides a subdued backdrop for the vibrant pink and white flowers. In late spring and early summer, the plants are studded with single pink flowers, with deeper mauve-pink tips to the petals. The Royal Horticultural Society has recognised it as a plant of outstanding excellence by giving it its prestigious Award of Garden Merit. Height 10cm.

Growing at a glance…
Water Oxalis bulbs freely during growing season, but ensure not to waterlog the soil as this will damage the bulb. Plant in any fertile, well-drained soil. Many Oxalis varieties spread rapidly and take up plenty of space as ground cover. If you prefer to keep them contained, plant them in pots along the patio. They are frost-tender, so cover with mulch in the late autumn to protect from cold conditions.
