Oxalis adenophylla has dainty, five-petaled, white to lilac-pink flowers with dark purple centers on wiry stems above attractive, clover-like foliage with a silvery sheen. A seasonal ground cover that grows in 8″ to 10” thickening mounds. Its flower buds are interestingly twisted shut. Once fully flowered, they open and close on sunny days.
Native to the Chilean and Argentinian Andes Mountains, Oxalis adenophylla prefers full sunlight and well-draining soil. As it matures over time, when it’s happy where it’s planted, it may naturalize by corm offsets (called cormels: baby corms on the sides of the mother corm you’ve planted). Unlike the other Oxalis varieties, it rarely propagates by self-sowing seed and is not considered to be invasive. It’s terrific in garden border plantings and sunny woodland borders. Deer and rodent resistant Full to partial sunlight. Bulb size: 6 cm/up. Blooms May/June. Plant 4″ deep and 4″ apart. Height: 2″ to 4″. Photo credit: Van Engelen, Inc.
