How to Grow
Oxalis melanosticta 'Ken Aslet' is a cheery little alpine plant with attractive silvery-green, clover-like foliage which is softly hairy. The tubular, golden flowers that emerge in late summer bring a splash of colour to the garden as other plants are fading. This low, matt-forming, hardy perennial is ideal for meandering through rockeries grown in alpine troughs where they can spill over the sides. Height: 10cm (4”). Spread: 45cm (18”).

Outdoors, grow oxalis plants in containers or in sheltered rockeries and borders. In cold, wet areas it is best grown as a houseplant on a bright windowsill or in a conservatory or greenhouse. Plant Oxalis corms at a depth of 3cm (1”) in well drained, rich fertile soil, or for indoor cultivation, in a loam based compost such as John Innes No.2. Position in full sun or light shade.
More Info After flowering, allow the foliage to die back naturally before removing it. Oxalis bulbs require a short period of dormancy at this stage, during which time the compost should be allowed to dry out a little so that it is kept just moist. Resume feeding and watering when oxalis plants start into growth again.
