Oxalis, also known as shamrock is a great container plant. Oxalis prefers shade to part shade and comes in several beautiful colors, from dark wine to green to a coppery color. This cheerful plant is hard to kill and drought tolerant. It's flowers are small but prolific.

Oxalis prefers to be on the dry side, so let the soil dry out a bit between waterings. If it starts to get leggy or straggly during the growing season, cut it back and it should grow bushy again.

Oxalis is a wonderful plant that can fill out a combination pot while adding color and texture.
