Redwood Sorrel, Oregon Oxalis
Oxalis oregano (Redwood Sorrel) is a creeping, rhizomatous perennial boasting rose-pink or white flowers, 1 in. across (2.5 cm), adorned with lavender veining from spring to fall. The charming blossoms are borne on slender stems over the foliage of velvety, mid-green, clove-like leaves. Easy to cultivate and maintain, this plant creeps underground via rhizomes and will spread indefinitely, naturalizing in shady, woodland conditions. It makes an attractive groundcover for part shade or deep shade in mild winter areas.
