Oxalis adenophylla, valued by gardeners since the 19th century, is a compact perennial known for its resilience in cooler climates. Naturally adapted to high-altitude slopes, this species forms dense, low mounds of blue-green, palmate foliage, topped in early summer by delicate five-petalled flowers in soft white and pink. Reaching just 10-15 cm in height, it is ideal for adding subtle colour to borders, rockeries, and containers where space is at a premium. Its reliable performance and understated appearance make it a practical choice for both experienced gardeners and those new to planting bulbs.
Plant Oxalis adenophylla bulbs in autumn, from September to October. This timing gives the roots a chance to establish well before winter, supporting strong growth and flowering in the following season.
Position each bulb 2-5 cm below the soil surface. Planting too shallowly or too deep may affect the healthy emergence of new shoots.
Allow approximately 5 cm between each bulb. This spacing helps the plants develop into neat, attractive clumps without overcrowding.
At maturity, Oxalis adenophylla reaches a height of 10-15 cm, making it well suited to low borders, path edges, and container displays.
This variety blooms from June to July, producing gentle white and pink flowers. The flowering period brings a light, pastel touch to any planting scheme, with the compact clumps creating a soft visual highlight.
Oxalis adenophylla is highly tolerant of cold and does not require lifting for winter. For best results, ensure the planting site is well drained, as excessive moisture can damage the bulbs during dormancy.
Well suited to rock gardens, perennial borders, path edges, and balcony containers, this species offers a refined accent in smaller garden spaces. Its unique foliage and flower structure are also appreciated by collectors seeking unusual perennial bulbs for gardens.
