Description

Bio Oxalis Deppei Iron Cross is often bought as much for the leaves as the flowers. The foliage carries a clear dark cross marking on each leaf, giving a neat graphic look that works brilliantly in containers and along path edges. It creates a low, tidy mound of foliage that looks intentional even when not in flower, making it a useful summer accent plant for customers who like detail and texture.

The flowers appear above the foliage in summer, adding movement and a lighter touch. Oxalis is ideal for patio pots, balcony planters and small garden spaces where customers want something decorative, compact and easy to manage. It pairs well with low bedding, trailing plants and other container friendly bulbs, and it also works in sheltered border edges where the foliage can form a repeating pattern.

Plant the bulbs after frosts in a warm, sheltered spot in sun to part shade. Use free draining soil or container compost and water in well, then keep lightly moist during growth without saturating. In autumn, once growth slows, keep drier and lift or protect from hard frost. For Irish conditions, storing bulbs frost free is the reliable approach for year to year success.
