Plant of the Day
Tuesday 7 March 2023
On a cafe windowsill in the Unorthodox Roasters in Kinross the houseplant Oxalis triangularis subsp. papilionacea (purple leaf false shamrock, purple wood sorrel) was growing. This frost-tender bulbous plant can be kept year-round in a cool conservatory or room producing purple foliage and pale-pink flowers. It requires a moisture retentive but well-drained growing media.
