Oxalis triangularis 'Mijke Ikigai'

Commonly known as False Shamrock or Purple Shamrock. Dainty, deep purple triangular leaves sit upon translucent pinkish stems. The ‘Mijke Ikigai’ cultivar of Oxalis triangularis produces leaves slightly lighter in colour, still in a charming purple shade. Look out for the delicate, pink flowers which emerge in numbers during spring. Most Oxalis are photonastic, meaning its leaves flutter open in the daylight, and fold down at night.
