Thompson and Morgan Oxalis Triangularis Plant in Pot 12cm

An enchanting addition to any indoor space, the Oxalis triangularis (Purple), also known as Brazilian Butterfly or False Shamrock, showcases unique triangular leaves reminiscent of delicate butterflies. The captivating foliage features a two-tone effect, with deep purple-black edges surrounding a striking pinkish-purple centre. Throughout the summer months, dainty white or pale pink trumpet-shaped flowers emerge, adding to this plant's refined charm. This tender perennial is ideally suited for indoor environments, thriving in cooler rooms or conservatories. During warmer seasons, it can be moved outdoors to shaded locations. Observe its fascinating behaviour as the leaves gracefully fold down at night, mirroring the rhythmic movements of butterfly wings.
