Oxalis triangularis ssp. triangularis

Oxalis triangularis is a true beauty with deep purple, shamrock-like leaves with a hint of deep rose in the centre. Single blossoms of palest pink appear above the foliage on delicate green stems for the crowning touch. A beautiful tender perennial bulb that performs well in standard well-draining potting mix indoors and out. Avoid full sun. Bright locations or light shade are best. Also goes through a period of dormancy once a year even when grown as a houseplant. All parts of this plant are edible but give off an acidic taste.

We happened upon this plant years ago and have used it every season since. It adds a rich shot of purple courtesy of the fun, triangular leaves. The flowers are small, pale pink and plentiful. And triangularis is tough; it's come back from crushing hail (poor things had to start over), drought (what do you mean you forgot to water my plants while I was in Yellowstone?) and winds that knocked the tomato plants flat. Trust us, once you go here, there's no coming back. Why Grow Purple Oxalis/Shamrocks?
