Golden Oxalis (Oxalis spiralis ‘Aurea’)

One of the most attractive new foliage plants around, Golden Oxalis is quickly rising in popularity. In partial light and cooler climates, it displays a vast palette of colors from light green, pink and copper to yellow, orange and gold. In full sun, the foliage reveals a consistent, warm coral tone with continual bursts of bright yellow flowers atop pink fleshy stems. Unlike some other oxalis, this one is not invasive and will keep a tight shape growing to a maximum of 1.5’ wide. Golden Oxalis looks great as a houseplant, ground cover, or colorful annual at the garden’s edge. It can be cut back to 3” tall when in need of rejuvenation and it will quickly resprout leaves.
