Oxalis magnifica
Oxalis magnifica
Oxalis leaves are palmate with 3 - 12 leaflets - often clover-like. Some species are invasive and considered to be weeds. Others make excellent ground cover or houseplants. Most are frost tender and suitable for greenhouses or conservatory in cooler climes. 'Oxalis magnifica' is a large-growing oxalis that bears yellow-throated pink-purple flowers that have a narrow white 'halo' between the throat and the petals. The plant needs to be kept in warmth from Autumn until Spring.
