Oxalis triangularis - Striking Purple Foliage - Bulbs - Giga Pack - 250 pcs

Beneath the shade of trees or on sunlit balconies, Oxalis triangularis unfurls its deep purple leaves like butterfly wings, while its delicate flowers gently illuminate green spaces. Its compact habit and distinctive colouring bring a touch of refined elegance to any garden.

Planting time

Plant the bulbs in spring, from April to May, or in autumn, during September and October. Oxalis triangularis thrives both in borders and in containers or balcony boxes. It prefers bright, lightly shaded positions, sheltered from the harsh midday sun. For containers, use a light, well-drained compost with added sand or perlite. In the ground, fertile, slightly moist soil is ideal.

Planting depth

Set the bulbs at a depth of 6–8 cm, keeping a distance of around 10 cm between each. This arrangement encourages even growth and the formation of neat, compact clumps. When planting in pots, ensure a drainage layer is provided.

Height

Oxalis triangularis typically reaches a height of 15 to 25 cm, making it perfectly suited for both bedding schemes and container displays.

Flowering period

In the ground, flowering occurs from late June through to August or September. When grown in pots and planted earlier, blooms may appear as soon as May. Under favourable conditions, the plant can flower repeatedly throughout the season.

Winter hardiness

Oxalis triangularis is not winter hardy outdoors. In autumn, lift the bulbs and store them in a dry, cool place at 8–12°C. For container-grown plants, you can overwinter them in a bright, cool room with reduced watering, or remove the bulbs and store them as you would those from the garden.

Uses

This plant is ideal for border compositions, rockeries, edging, and balcony containers. Its purple foliage contrasts beautifully with plants that have lighter flowers or leaves. Oxalis triangularis looks striking when planted in groups or used as a single focal point.
