Notes
'Molten Lava' wood sorrel (Oxalis vulcanicola 'Molten Lava') is an annual for containers and low maintenance gardens. This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist soil of most types. It grows 6 to 10 inches tall and spreads about 12 inches. Blooms appear in early to late spring and again in early to late summer. It also tolerates drought, so it forgives a missed watering.
Pairs well with Dragon Wing Red begonia, Angel wings, and Kimberly queen fern.
