Oxalis triangularis – Exceptionally Elegant Foliage – Bulbs – Large Pack – 50 pcs

The deep purple leaves of Oxalis triangularis move gently in the breeze, bringing subtle highlights and a touch of lightness to the garden. This graceful perennial adds an airy quality to planting schemes, with its delicate flowers contrasting beautifully against the rich foliage for a striking, harmonious effect.

Planting time

Bulbs should be planted in spring, from April to May, or in autumn between September and October. Oxalis triangularis is suitable for both open ground and container cultivation. Choose a bright location that is sheltered from direct southern sunlight. For pots, use a light compost mixed with sand or perlite; for garden beds, opt for humus-rich, slightly moist soil.

Planting depth

Plant the bulbs at a depth of 6–8 cm.

Planting spacing

Space bulbs approximately 10 cm apart. This arrangement encourages even, compact clumps. When growing in containers, ensure good drainage at the base to prevent waterlogging.

Height

Plants typically reach a height of 15–25 cm, making them ideal for the front of borders or for mixed bulb collections in containers.

Flowering period

In the ground, Oxalis triangularis flowers from late June through August or September. With early planting or container cultivation, flowering may begin as early as May. Blooms last for several weeks, depending on growing conditions.

Winter hardiness

This species is not frost hardy. Bulbs grown in the ground should be lifted in autumn and stored in a dry, cool place (8–12°C). Container plants can be overwintered in a cool, bright room with reduced watering, or the bulbs can be stored as those from the garden.

Uses

Oxalis triangularis is well suited to borders, rockeries, path edges, and containers on balconies or terraces. Its foliage and flowers create attractive contrasts with lighter ornamental plants. Planting in groups produces dense, colourful displays. If you are looking for premium bulbs for garden schemes or want to buy flower bulbs online, this species offers both versatility and visual impact.
