Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the best foliage plants around. The golden yellow foliage has coppery highlights & the stems are red. In warmer weather the foliage goes a little bit more lime colored & seems to color-up best in the cooler seasons. The flowers are bright yellow & bloom off & on throughout the year. The foliage is succulent & gets to be about 6-8” tall. It will get to be about 2’ wide. Not invasive like some other Oxalis.
