They spread like crazy. They're just green, not that pretty purple color. Merry Christmas!!! Have a wonderful day🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

    I really don't feed them much. I usually start with soil that has nutrients for them to use. If I was going to fertilize, it would be with a water soluble balanced fertilizer....maybe once or twice at the most. Most of the time I don't fertilize them at all except for what is already in the soil.

    Hi! My oxalis has never gone dormant, maybe because I keep it in a the same semi sunny spot & keep watering it? Should I let it go dormant? It's at least 4 years old & continues to grow healthy even though the winter.

    Is this species of oxalis grown as an ornamental or for eating? As others have mentioned, I have plenty of common native oxalis growing here, in a fairly wet and shady part of zone 7a. They are edible but not exciting enough to plant on purpose.
