Plant description
Bring a fresh, leafy look to your indoor space with distinctive, shamrock-shaped green leaves that add interest even when the plant isn't in flower. Oxalis triangularis green leaved grows from bulbs to form a neat clump, with slender stems carrying delicate pink or white flowers in summer, usually from June to August.
