Please find for sale 1 x freshly harvested to order Oxalis Triangularis bulb / tuber. This plant is better known as the Purple Butterfly of Purple Shamrock plant.

Quite simply this is one on my favourite plants - and why I grow so many of them! This plant is very hard to kill and will tolerate a wide variety of conditions - if it is unhappy it will give you plenty of warning before giving up - and even then it will almost certainly regrow from the tubers under the soil! 

My elderly mother has one on her north-facing kitchen windowsill - gets no sun at all but is probably the best one I have seen! It will also quite happily grow in the garden - in pots or the borders, reappearing again every spring.

The only real care thing to note is that I have noticed that they are not keen on too much direct sun - especially the mid day sun. They still grow but it causes some browning/discolouration of the leaves. 

PS I also sell the seeds of its rather pretty cousin, Chilean Wood Sorrel.
