Description
This is a yellow-flowered form with vivid and intense, bright yellow flowers. The reverse is thinly lined with red along the centres of the petals.
The flowers are held well above the foliage and are borne at the same time as the leaves, so that the display is really very good.
The plant offered is a very unusual variety, named by T.M.Salter, which has extremely narrow foliage. It is so different that it looks nothing like an Oxalis and the foliage is amazingly different to that of the white form.
This responds well to cultivation, making a superb, well-packed display of flowers in a pot or pan, under frost-free or alpine house conditions, in a loam-based compost. Although the flower colour may look like the noxious pes-caprae, this is nothing like that plant and it is never a weed.
First offered 2011.
