Thompson and Morgan Oxalis Triangularis Papilion Plant in Pot 12cm

A captivating addition to any space, *Oxalis triangularis*, or Brazilian Butterfly, showcases delicate, triangular green leaves reminiscent of fluttering butterflies. This frost-tender, deciduous plant brings a touch of botanical beauty to cool rooms, conservatories, or shaded outdoor areas. Sprays of soft, white or pale pink trumpet-shaped flowers bloom in summer, adding to its charm.
The leaves exhibit a unique behaviour, closing like butterfly wings at night and reopening in daylight. Thriving in moisture-retentive, well-draining soil, this plant is suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation. During the growing season, it can be situated outdoors in a shady location once the risk of frost has passed. In winter, it naturally dies back to its tuberous rhizome, requiring minimal attention until the following growing season. It is a low-maintenance addition to your garden or indoor collection.
