Description

Description:

• Oxalis triangularis, commonly called false shamrock, is a species of edible perennial plant in the Oxalidaceae family.

• The leaf is formed of three sessile leaflets (or very short petiole), obtriangular to obovate-triangular, glabrous, arranged in the same plane perpendicular to the petiole.

Flowering: Lot’s of small trumpet shaped blooms sitting above the leaves appear during spring and summer, which you can expect to last a fair few weeks.
