Product Information

Although attractive looking, with several species such as Oxalis tetraphylla and O. adenophylla being grown as ornamental garden or glasshouse plants, some oxalis species can become anuisance in the garden. Unless you’re trying to save seed to sow next year, the flower stalks should be removed as soon as you notice them. This will help to prolong your growing season, as the plants will be able to continue putting all of their energy into their leaves, rather than into producing seeds.
