Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The bulbous South American Oxalis enneaphylla 'Rosea' is small in stature but mighty in flowers, especially in cool summer climates where it can bloom from spring through fall. In hot summer climates it may go summer dormant. The foliage forms dainty grey-green umbrellas with pink edges and the flowers are a mid pink with deeper pink veins and an almond scent that will brighten up any area of the sunny garden.

This little bulbous jewel from South America takes a back seat to no bulb. A bantamweight in size but this flowers at a weight class much higher. A perfect bun of green foliage with lots of flowers whose pale pink chases dark feathers down to the white center. Gritty and drainage. Trough or rock garden.
