Notes
Wood sorrel (Oxalis griffithii) is a perennial for containers, ground cover, and low maintenance spots. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. It blooms in spring, summer, and autumn, so it adds color for months. Each plant spreads about 12 inches, so give it room to fill in.
Pairs well with Aureola Japanese forest grass, Bluebell, and Orchid.
