Oxalis Adenophylla

This variety is excellent for both. Its compact size makes it particularly well-suited for containers, rock gardens, or as a border plant where you can appreciate its unique, pleated foliage up close.

Oxalis Adenophylla thrives in partial sun. Aim for a spot that receives morning light but is protected from the harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can sometimes scorch the delicate foliage.

Yes, these bulbs are hardy in zones 4 through 9. If you live in a colder climate within this range, ensure the soil is well-draining to prevent the bulbs from rotting during the wet winter months.

Plant the bulbs 2 inches deep. Because they are quite small, spacing them about 3 inches apart will give them enough room to establish while still creating a nice, full look.

You will see the lilac-pink and white blossoms appear in late spring to early summer. The silvery, pleated foliage provides visual interest even before the flowers emerge.

This plant prefers moderate to low water. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, as it does not like to sit in soggy, waterlogged soil.
