Oxalis Ione Hecker

I’ve always admired the South American Oxalis. I remember wanting to buy O. laciniata on sight just for the curious crinkled leaves. Generally I think it’s probably too hot here for them but I have a number in pots. This year they were in flower very early, but I now have a few in flower again. Oxalis Ione Hecker seems to be one of the most reliable of the O. laciniata x O. enneaphylla. It was probably also one of the first, there certainly are a lot around these days, perhaps too many! (and yes, I have many of them).
