Oxalis Iron Cross (Oxalis deppei)
Oxalis 'Iron Cross'
Ok, don't be scared. We know everyone freaks out at the word 'Oxalis'...but just remember when there is a few idiots in the family...we don't throw the whole family away!
This is a non invasive, clump forming Oxalis. Grown for the stunning deep burgundy cross in the centre of the foliage and the lovely bright salmon pink blooms carried on 20cm stems above the plant. Ideal to be grown in a pot, border, rock garden or feature bowl. It can be grown very well in an indoor position. Choose a bright location without direct sunlight.
