Oxalis Strawberry, Pink Wood Sorrel
Oxalis crassipes ‘Rosea’ (Oxalis Strawberry) is a charming perennial forming a lush mound of bright green, clover-like leaves. During the day the leaves open out to receive sunlight but at night they retract and fold up like small umbrellas, adding interest to the plant. From late spring until the first frost, the handsome foliage is topped by sprays of bright pink flowers that attract butterflies. Easy to grow and not invasive (this plant does not set viable seed), Rosea is perfect for edging, rock gardens, or containers. A colorful addition with a long season of interest that is deer resistant.
