Description

The listing, "Red Clover" Oxalis Corm has ended.

As far as I can tell, this plant will never stop growing and blooming as long as it has light and food. I have seen my mother's go dormant, but it always comes back.

This is the only plant I have left that I'm not afraid to offer free shipping because it grows from corms that handle the trip in a simple envelope whereas bare roots are so iffy.
I don't know why I never took photos of the corms...but they're small; about the size of two peas.

I'll send the corm with the leaves attatched, but they are fragile, and I don't expect them to make the trip. I recommend putting the corm in where you have some room with an existing plant. It may take some time to come back, and that way it's in a safe place, and will surprise you like mine did. I thought it was gone, so used the dirt for another plant, then it reappeared from there.

The single corms are good for only one or two leaves, like the second picture. I used regular Miracle Grow to get it to expand quickly, and boy did it. I had to thin it out and that's why I have some to offer in just a year.

The leaves themselves are so attractive, you coudn't wish for more, but it also flowers regularly with delicate purple sprays. Left to just fall off, I have had new babies sprout in plants located below. It just keeps on giving! I really love this thing!
