Description
Take the opportunity to grow a plant which is really quite scarce! Oxalis 'Pom-Pom' is not commonly seen and its intriguing appearance is bound to attract some interest from all who clap eyes on it. Blooming from late winter into spring with a pretty profusion of double flowers in a sweet shade of pastel mauve purple, this bulbil sorrel is a lovely little lift during the cold season. Watching the classic shamrock leaves of Oxalis nidulans 'Pom-Pom' unfurl in autumn, soon after planting, is an exciting experience for any plant connoisseur to enjoy as the summer season draws to a close.
Treat this rare Oxalis 'Pom-Pom' like a princess and it will reward you with its beautiful blooms every year. It’s not a hardy plant, so you’ll need to keep this perennial protected from frost. You can grow it indoors, but it knows to flower in cool temperatures, so we recommend growing this one outside but in a sunny, sheltered position or in an unheated, frost-free place. Oxalis nidulans 'Pom-Pom' will need some beauty sleep from time to time, becoming dormant during summer.
