Shamrock Plant 'Green Verde' 4"

Oxalis spp.

A festive plant for St. Patrick's Day, this variety of Oxalis can also be enjoyed year-round as a charming and easy houseplant. It produces showy, triangular leaves that form a large shamrock shape in a fresh shade of green. These decorative shamrocks also produce small, five-petal flowers in colors of white, blush pink or lavender. Growing from a bulb (rhizome), they make fun houseplants for cool, bright areas and pair well with Cyclamen, Primrose, and other forced bulbs. Place this plant in a cool northern or eastern window where it can receive bright, indirect light, but not heat. When watering, keep the plant's soil on the dry side. It will wilt slightly when it's ready, but will perk back up after the soil is moistened. Bottom watering is recommended. Fertilize with Osmocote. Deadhead spent flowers by gently pulling the stalk from the bulb, instead of cutting. Foliage can be cut back at any time to keep a tidy habit.
