Oxalis ‘Brazilian Woodsorrel’ – A rosy-purple, butterfly-attracting perennial.

Oxalis ‘Brazilian Woodsorrel’ (Oxalis brasiliensis) is a bulbous, deciduous perennial known for its tidy growth habit and shiny, mid-green leaves. This 4-inch plant produces charming rosy-purple flowers with darker veins and yellow centers from spring through summer, bringing bright color to garden spaces.

Drought tolerant, deer resistant, and non-invasive, it makes an excellent choice for rock gardens, pots, borders, and ground cover—and pairs beautifully with ferns in mixed plantings. It thrives in sun or shade with moderate watering and grows well in USDA Zones 9–10.

Compact at 3–6 inches tall, this versatile Oxalis adds soft texture and vibrant blooms while attracting butterflies throughout the warm seasons.
