<i>Oxalis brasiliensis</i> | Brazilian Woodsorrel
DESCRIPTION
Oxalis brasiliensis, commonly known as Brazilian woodsorrel, is a perennial groundcover valued for its delicate foliage and attractive pink to purple flowers. Native to Brazil, this plant produces clusters of small, funnel-shaped flowers on slender stems in late spring to early summer, creating an airy appearance above its clover-like, bright green leaves. Suited for shaded or partially shaded areas with moist, well-draining soil, it is often used as a ground cover in woodland gardens, shaded borders, and rock gardens. Low-maintenance and generally resistant to pests and diseases, Brazilian woodsorrel is a reliable and beautiful addition to any garden.
