Description
This charming Oxalis (Wood Sorrel) is perfect for filling in spaces in the rock garden.

Some tiny herbivores can find food in tuberculate wood sorrels. It is a highly collectible and diversified genus. In about 8 to 10 weeks, these peculiar-looking bulbs will begin to grow foliage and blossoms. Several types have two flows.

Autumn, winter, and spring bring a plethora of tints to the leaves and intermittent blooms of exquisite flowers. Some people believe that the plant offers good luck since its leaves are fashioned like a clover. When darkness falls, these leaves curl up, then unfold when daylight arrives.

Planting Methodology

• Leave the foliage in place once the season’s blooming is over; do not trim it off.
• The leaves will absorb sunlight, making the bulb stronger in the long run.
• When the plant enters dormancy in late summer or early fall, its leaves will turn yellow and wither back.
• At this point, you can remove the foliage.
• Make sure the pests cannot get to any other plants, and make sure the area is completely free of any fallen leaves.
• If at all possible, use a diluted 50/50 alcohol/water solution to clean every surface.
