These lovely spring flowers have clover-like, delicate, fresh green foliage (they are often called shamrocks). The five-petalled, bowl- or cup-shaped flowers open and close depending on the level of sunlight - closing when it's overcast and at night.
Oxalis 'Ione Hecker' has open funnel-shaped, violet-blue flowers marked with deep purple veins and and dark purple throats.
