Once in awhile you find a container that is the perfect match for a plant! To top it off, this plant produces beautiful white blooms that also coordinate with the pot.
RECIPE:
• (1) Oxalis “Charmed Wine” Shamrock Plant
TIPS:
• Although some tags may indicate this plant can be grown in shade to full sun, I find that “Charmed Wine” will be most brilliant in part sun, such as morning sun on an east side. It can fade or scorch in full sun.
• Oxalis can be slow to start out, but it really takes off as temperatures warm up.
• Oxalis prefers moist (but not wet) soil. As long as you have good drainage, you will be fine. Do not allow to dry out.
• Oxalis will stay perky all season with regular fertilizing.
• Oxalis can be grown indoors as a houseplant but needs bright light to keep from stretching.
