Spring and Summer
- Oxalis deppei Iron Cross commonly known as Four-Leaf Sorrel or Lucky Clover is a fully hardy perennial, loved by pollinating insects, in particular bees and butterflies that produces delicate pink flowers above green velvety leaves with a maroon cross pattern and this is why their nickname is often associated with Shamrocks. These low maintenance mid Spring to Summer flowering plants can grow to 20cm tall and are popular for UK gardens, due to their ability to increase rapidly providing a bigger and better display each year.
- These bulbs are great for growing in flower beds, garden borders or in patio pots. They are also ideal for growing in woodland gardens or rock gardens in particular around the base of deciduous trees or shrubs. They do particularly well when planted with other Spring flowering bulbs such as yellow daffodils, grape hyacinth and crocus.
- If you are not ready to plant bulbs now, then store them in a cool, dry, frost free, well ventilated location. A garage, shed, loft or cupboard are ideal. Open the paper bag to allow air to circulate round but leave the bulbs in their bags until ready to plant. Just make sure mice or other rodents can’t get access to them. Keep an eye on your bulbs while in storage, if they are showing signs of going soft, it's best to get them planted before they deteriorate any further.
Full sun
Moderate watering
Plant these oxalis bulbs during Autumn to Winter in fertile, well draining soil in full sun or in partial shade approximately 10 cm apart and at a depth, three to four times the size of the bulb. After planting, water well. Adding mulch, wood chips and organic matter to the planting area will increase soil drainage. After flowering, allow the foliage to die down completely. They are UK hardy and will continue to grow each year with little maintenance.
