About this item

    Zones:USDA Zones 7-10, although some varieties can tolerate colder temperatures.
    Exposure:Full sun to partial shade
    Bloom time:Virtually ever-blooming, with the heaviest flower production in the cooler temperatures of early spring and autumn. Plants tend to rest in the summer when temperatures exceed 85°F.
    Flower colors:There are white, pink, rose, lavender, or yellow-flowered varieties, as well as some with two-toned flowers.

    Is oxalis toxic?
    All members of the Oxalis genus contain oxalic acid, which can be toxic when ingested in large quantities. Keep plants away from children and pets. See more Common Poisonous Plants for Dogs and Cats.
    Is oxalis invasive?
    Some native species of oxalis, such as yellow wood sorrel (O. stricta) and creeping wood sorrel (O. corniculata), are common weeds and considered to be invasive. However, the ornamental varieties featured here are easily contained and will not spread out of bounds.

  • PLANTING OXALIS

    Where to plant:
    In full sun or light shade in well-drained, fertile soil. If you live in a hot climate, plants will do best in a location with afternoon shade.
    When to plant:
    Plant bulbs outdoors in late spring, after all danger of frost has passed. The foliage typically emerges 3 to 4 weeks after planting, with the flowers appearing approximately 8 to 10 weeks later.
    How to plant:
    In garden beds, plant bulbs approximately 2 inches deep and 4 to 6 inches apart, covering lightly with soil. If necessary, dig a little compost or organic matter into the soil before planting to improve soil quality.
    For container plantings, plant the bulbs about an inch deep in a well-draining potting mix, using about 6 to 8 bulbs for a 6-inch pot.
    Forcing oxalis bulbs:
    You can also force potted oxalis bulbs indoors before moving them out to the garden by placing them in bright light in a room with cool temperatures (about 55° to 60°F). Keep the soil evenly moist, but not drenched. Once blooms begin to appear, they will often continue for several months. Unlike hardy bulbs, oxalis bulbs don’t need a cooling period (or vernalization) in order to grow.

  • OXALIS CARE AND MAINTENANCE

    Watering:
    Oxalis plants will wilt if the soil is allowed to dry out, so keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. The bulbs will rot in overly wet soil.
    Fertilizing:
    If grown in well-composted soil, oxalis rarely needs additional plant food. Container-grown plants will benefit from the application a slow-release fertilizer at planting time. Withhold fertilizing if plants enter a resting or dormancy period in midsummer.
    Pruning and deadheading:
    Plants are self-cleaning, so no deadheading is necessary, but you can lightly prune the foliage at any time to control plant size and shape. If your plants go dormant in the summer and the leaves begin to turn brown, you can trim back the dying foliage to about an inch from base of the plant.
    Overwintering:
    In areas colder than zone 7, dig up bulbs planted in garden beds before the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place until they can be replanted in the spring. For shamrock plants grown in pots, move them indoors and stop watering them. Store them in a cool, frost-free place to keep them dormant. At the beginning of the next growing season, you can repot the bulbs and resume watering and fertilizing.
    Pests and diseases:
    Oxalis have few pests, but be on the lookout for aphids, whiteflies, and spider mites, which may occasionally be a nuisance. Other potential problems include fungal leaf spot, rust, and powdery mildew.

  • GROWING OXALIS INDOORS

    Light requirements:
    Give bright, indirect light, such as from a south- or west-facing window. Under low-light conditions, plants may become spindly and fail to bloom.
    Ideal room temperature:
    Cool night temperatures (around 50° to 65°F) and warm daytime temperatures (around 70° to 75°F).
    Humidity:
    Average household humidity levels are fine.
    Watering:
    Keep soil evenly moist, watering when the surface of the soil feels dry. Pots should have drainage holes to prevent soggy soil.
    Fertilizing:
    Feed every 2 to 3 weeks with a balanced liquid house plant fertilizer while plants are actively growing.
    Dormancy:
    If your indoor oxalis begins to lose all of its leaves, don’t panic. It’s just entering a period of dormancy (which usually lasts for a month or two) so it can conserve energy for a new flush of growth. During this time, move your plant into a dark place, reduce watering, and stop fertilizing until you see new growth begin. This dormancy period is a good opportunity to divide plants by separating some of the bulbs and replanting them in new pots.    

  • USING OXALIS IN THE GARDEN

    There are many ways to use oxalis in the garden, including: rock gardens, groundcover, edging or front of border, or in containers and hanging baskets.
    Fun fact:
    Ever wondered why some oxalis are called "butterfly shamrocksâ€? That’s because their leaves are photophilic, which means they respond to light intensity by folding up at night or on overcast days and reopening when the sun shines. During the day, they may even stretch or change the position of their leaves to capture as much sunlight as possible.

    Flower Bulb Facts of Life

    Bulbs: Beauty In a Bottle:

    Bulbs are a natural product. And, as such, follow a natural cycle of growth and rebirth. Enjoying their fabulous flowers means planting ahead in one season then results the next. Bulbs are among the easiest flowers to grow, not only are they affordable, but bulbs offer the most stunning colors available. Even the most novice gardener can create a breathtakingly beautiful spring garden with bulbs.

    What's a Bulb?

    A flower bulb is really a self-contained flower factory. Within this marvelous little package is nearly everything the flower needs to come to life! Split a bulb open, for instance, and you'll see its baby flower bud, leaves, roots, stem and food supply. All bulbs need from you is to be placed in the ground at the appropriate season of year, given a liberal drink of water then left to work their magic.

    Variety:

    Flower bulbs come in seemingly limitless varieties which makes them perfectly suitable for any garden design you can dream up.

    Is It a bulb ?

    The Difference Between Bulbs, Corms, Tubers, Roots,Today, people commonly us the term 'bulb' to refer to any plant that stores its own food underground. But, in truth, many popular 'bulbs' are not true bulbs at all. These include corms, tubers and roots and, while they all produce beautiful flowers, technically the plants are different

    When To Plant

    In fall, after soil temperatures are below 50ºF/10ºC. These bulbs bloom the following spring and require the cold winter temperatures for development. But let's say winter arrives and your bulbs are still in their bag. Not to worry! Bulbs are pre-programmed to grow so even if you have to plant through snow, plant your bulbs!

    How To Plant

    Most bulbs thrive in either full or partial sun and in almost any location with good drainage. Avoid planting at the base of hills or under drainage pipes where water collects and will rot the bulbs.

    • Dig a hole
    • Drop in the bulb
    • Water thoroughly

    Tips For success

    • A larger grouping of flower bulbs are far more fab than just a few planted here and there. Think clumps of color.
    • Buy the largest bulbs you can find.
    • Note the flowering times. Not all bulbs will bloom at the same time. A little planning will greatly increase the number of months you will enjoy bulb flowers.

    Passionate About bulbs

The first year end result will be noticeable to anyone.The best predictor for gardening success is bulb size.

    Beautiful
    Format: Hardcover
    A gorgeously written book about a young Palestinian American who finds her voice and identity. Genre: Upper Middle Grade/Lower YA -also some magical realism elements: olives cause time travel Author:Nora Lester Murad Publisher: Crocodile Books/ Interlink This beautiful hardcover (the book truly is absolutely gorgeous and I just cant stop staring at it!) tells the story of Ida- a young 13 year old Palestinian American daughter of immigrants. Bullied out of her school due to being Palestinian, Ida struggles to fit in. But one day, when she eats special olives, she is transported to a new type of multiverse where Ida’s family is still in Palestine. And by going back and forth, Ida realizes who she wants to be and what her passion in life is. This gorgeous book truly transported me to Palestine!! The rich descriptions helped me feel grounded in the setting, and I almost felt like I could taste the crackling olives, listen to the adhan of the Mosques, and walk the streets of Palestine. Tbh- as a Syrian myself, I found many parallels with life in Damascus to life in Jerusalem, and it made me fall in love with the book even more. Juxtaposed with the beauty of the land and the liveliness of the family and community around Ida is the harsh reality of Israeli occupation. The author does not minimize it, she portrays it in the voice of a teenager quite honestly, and her emotional scenes showing Ida helping a young boy and trying to figure out how to save her village and heart-wrenching and emotional. I also appreciated how nuanced the book was. The occupation is clearly presented as apartheid and wrong, but there is no antisemitism. The author mentions her Jewish background in the author’s note, the book states that there are Jews who support Palestinian rights and Ida sympathizes with Jews who immigrated to America to escape persecution. I really liked how this book was written- the layers of searching for identity, holding onto your homeland, resisting occupation, and the encouragement for the reader to practice BDS and raise their voices for justice. Definitely a must read and book I can see be adapted in curriculums for middle schools.

    Compelling from start to finish.
    Format: Paperback
    This is a wonderful book -- no doubt for young adults, but for all the rest of us, too. Here is the review we included in Rethinking Schools magazine: Middle school student Ida tries to sit where she is “unnoticeable, like the dust on last year’s history books.” She seeks to avoid stereotypical insults hurled at her for being from a Palestinian immigrant family. The school’s silence aggravates the problem. Ida notes, “Nobody even says the word ‘Palestine’ in my school. The teachers are afraid to teach anything about the Middle East, even if the topic has nothing to do with politics.” As the mother of three girls raised in the West Bank and now living in the United States, author Nora Lester Murad is deeply grounded in the book’s characters and themes. And she knows how to captivate middle school readers. Ida eats an olive that sends her time traveling from her home in Massachusetts to her family’s home in the West Bank, introducing readers to both the beauty of their village and the violence of the Israeli occupation that eventually forced her family to leave for their safety. This experience gives Ida the courage and conviction to speak in a school assembly about the realities of the occupation, comparing it to what happened to “Indigenous peoples here. How they were pushed off their land and survived so much violence, as if they weren’t human.” Stepping out of the shadows, she insists that students and teachers see her and her family’s humanity.

    Couldn't put Ida in the Middle down until the end
    Format: Hardcover
    Ida in the Middle so vividly captures the point of view of a girl not only sorting out feeling like and being treated like an outsider in a new school, but her relationship with her immigrant parents, her younger and older sister (she is in the middle), and her growing awareness of her family's community in the Middle East. It is is warm novel of feelings, friendship, and the magic transport to the "Its A Wonderful Life" alternate reality of what being in 8th grade would be like if her family had stayed in the village where her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins still live. It is also a novel, like those set in other wartimes, that exposes hard realities. Descriptions of her alternative private school in the US and watching the "Arabs Got Talent" music competition on TV have some of sly wit of Where'd You Go, Bernadette, but the learning that Ida and the reader develop about both the community ties and the danger and dehumanization of checkpoints, home demolitions, and raids takes the book to another level of complexity and empathy for difficult circumstances and choices. Throughout, Ida's viewpoint as a 13-year-old trying to understand the world around her is fresh and appealing. She proves to be an unexpectedly level-headed protagonist as the plot carries her into danger and into new readiness for action. Through the course of the novel, both the reader's and Ida's empathy grows for the desperate situation of Palestinian farmers whose land is under siege (and of all living under occupation), for parents' struggle over the choice to remain out of the country, and for the daily decisions to claim joy and pleasure even if it entails contradictions. Ida left me energized and inspired, and ready to gift this book to the middle-grade kids I know, and also to my teacher friends who keep books in their classrooms for students to read.

    A "magical" story of Palestinian life in the West Bank
    Format: Hardcover
    This young adult novel by Nora Lester Murad focuses on the quandary of a Palestinian-American teenager, Ida, who is learning about American culture while her extended family in the West Bank must cope with Israel’s many policies that discriminate against Palestinians. As Ida ponders how to fit in better at her school and a topic for a school assignment, she is magically transported to the land of her ancestors where she soon finds herself in a difficult situation. The novel explores several aspects of these policies, including the demolition of a friend’s home due to her family’s inability to get a construction permit. In between these difficult situations, there are some twists and turns that remind the reader of the importance of family and friends. This novel will help to validate the experiences of Palestinian youth who are "caught in the middle" like Ida. Readers of all ages will gain new insights into conditions for Palestinians living in the West Bank and how these pressures impact the daily lives and futures of Palestinian youth. (A teacher’s guide is available, which will be especially helpful for those unfamiliar with the situations described in Ida in the Middle. )
