I am Oxalis mad - I have so many Oxalis plants on window sills and in the garden that my wife has banned me from having any more - so they have spilled over into my mothers house! This rare variety produces golden yellow flowers with clover-like foliage - being frost hardy it makes a great long-lasting bedding plant. As with other Oxalis, this species is nyctinastic - meaning it closes its leaves at night or in dull weather. Funnily enough it is also edible - its leaves having a citrusy hint.  

Seed Germination

• Soak seeds for in warm water for a few hours hours. 
• Prepare a tray of good quality compost - ideally a mix of  50% regular compost, 50% vermiculite (which I sell in the Accessories section of my eBay shop) 
• Sow seeds on the surface and cover with a fine layer of sieved compost
• Compost mix should be moist but not wet
• Place in warmish place (16-22c) but out of direct sunlight
• Ensure compost does not dry up
• Seeds usually germinate in 4-6 weeks depending on conditions
• Transplant to individual pots once seedlings large enough to handle
• Oxalis prefer acidic soil albeit it is not essential so use ericaceous compost if you have it
