Notes
'Rosea' sorrel (Oxalis articulata 'Rosea') is a perennial for containers and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, and butterflies visit the flowers. It is also drought tolerant. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
