Notes
'Charmed Wine' false shamrock (Oxalis triangularis 'Charmed Wine') is an annual for borders, cottage gardens, and accents. This plant likes full or part sun and dry to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It forms a clumping mound 12 to 24 inches tall and 12 inches wide. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It grows at a moderate pace and blooms in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn. Butterflies visit the flowers.
Pairs well with Pineapple sage, Mondo grass, and Vermillionaire cuphea.
