    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Are you a fan of the funky stuff? This Oxalis really knows how to get its funk on! Oxalis gigantea is one of the few Oxalis to form a shrub. The succulent stems grow every which way, including up, often reaching 6-8’ tall. From the silvery succulent stems sprout tufts of green clover leaves & bright yellow flowers. May go summer dormant if it is in droughty conditions. From Chile. Super-funk-tastic!
