Oxalis crassipes |Rosea|

 popular shade plant that just doesn't know when to quit blooming! Although it's a perennial, this plant blooms like an annual from late spring to early fall if kept moist. Vivid green, clover-like leaves are dotted with bright pink flowers that butterflies adore and are nice in fresh bouquets.

The plant forms a low mound that is the perfect size for edging or containers. Like many oxalis, the leaves of this variety close up at night or when light levels are very low. It does not set viable seeds, so there's no need to fear that it will become a nuisance in the garden. This variety has been used in Southern gardens for many years.

• Grows up to 10-12 in. tall (25-30 cm) and 14-16 in. wide (35-40 cm).
• Easily grown in well-drained soils in part shade to full shade. Tolerates a wide range of conditions, including drought. Provide occasional to regular irrigation and avoid overwatering during the dormant period. If no supplemental water is provided during hot, dry summers, this plant may go dormant, but it will re-appear in the fall and rebloom.
• Clumps may be divided in early spring.
