Purple Shamrock, False Shamrock, Love Plant
Planted on March 25th, and already lovely little leaves have started to emerge. I've often bought bulbs from Promesse de Fleurs that I've planted in various spots—under trees, inside the house. These plants are magnificent. Over the years, the oxalis bulbs multiply.

Description
This is a little-used perennial plant with a bulbous or rhizomatous crown. It blooms abundantly and has a wide range of uses. In short, it is a plant for gardeners who want something a bit different.
This perennial plant forms small tuberous rootstocks, from which very curious leaves emerge, divided into 3 leaflets like clover, but much larger, each shaped like a butterfly. They are a dark chocolate colour with a dark purple mark in the middle of each leaflet. The small pale pink flowers that follow until frost form a beautiful contrast with the foliage.

Planting and care
It is difficult to give growing advice for this plant. Usually, we recommend growing in pots to bring indoors in winter, but some of our customers have successfully left them in the ground, on the edge of partially shaded woodland in soil drained by tree roots, simply covered with a litter layer of dead leaves at the first frosts. Wherever you use it, its almost black foliage will create a strong contrast with pale yellow flowering plants such as Coreopsis verticillata 'Moonbeam', for example.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
