Summer Oxalis Collection

This is a collection of Oxalis triangularis, small bulbs known as red clover. It brings together three different varieties, the species Oxalis triangularis, its variant Oxalis triangularis subsp.papilionacea Atropurpurea, and Oxalis 'Fanny'. All three form small clumps of about twenty centimetres and have clover-like foliage and a very long flowering period from spring to autumn in pastel pink tones, but their foliage colour is different. Oxalis triangularis is not very hardy and non-invasive, it looks great in a hanging basket or a flower pot, away from the scorching sun. This trendy little plant fits perfectly into a contemporary interior.

This collection consists of:

- x 10 Oxalis triangularis - Purple Clover: foliage marbled with magenta pink and flowers in shades of pink and white. An award-winning variety at Courson.

- x 15 Oxalis triangularis ssp.papilionacea Atropurpurea: leaves in black chocolate colour, with a dark violet delta in the middle of each leaflet. Small pale pink flowers.

- x 15 Oxalis 'Fanny': foliage marbled with silver and remarkably generous pale pink flowers.

Bulbs labelled separately.

Perennial plants with bulbous or rhizomatous roots, sensitive to frost, these South American oxalis bloom abundantly in pots and hanging baskets, and even on the edge of undergrowth in regions where frosts are weak and rare. We recommend growing them in pots and bringing them indoors in winter. The bulbs or rhizomes should be lightly buried (about 3-4 cm deep in potting soil). The soil should remain slightly moist throughout the growing season, but almost dry in winter during the dormant period. Reduce watering at the end of October when the foliage dries out. In spring, take out your pots, place them in a bright location, but without direct sunlight. The ideal temperature for growing these oxalis should be around 18°C. Take your pots out from May to September, place them in a slightly shaded area, and water regularly.
