Oxalis hirta is autumn-flowering in our region. A South African species, occurring on slopes and plains in the north and south-west of the Cape. In the habitat, the flowering period is from April into June. The selection 'Gothenburg', cultivated by Henrik Zetterlund, is a robust, richly flowering plant with a profusion of pink flowers. The grey-green leaves are three-lobed and on branching stems. Plant the bulbs in a deep pot, this will enhance flowering.
