Oxalis triangularis 'Fanny'

  • Product number: 725230.1
  • Origin: South America
  • Latin: Oxalis triangularis

AVAILABLE ALMOST YEAR-ROUND, SOME PERIODS NOT. The most unique clover we know. This Brazilian species is not only very ornamental with its fresh green leaves (usually with light marble spots) and sharply contrasting, pale pink flowers, but also very tasty! I snack on the leaves wherever I see them: delicious lime flavor, fresh and sour yet a little sweet. Delicious with almost all dishes! Grow the bulbs in a pot indoors or in pots or the garden outdoors, preferably in a slightly shaded spot. The leaves "sleep" at night and in dark weather. Overwinter frost-free! Koppert Cress markets the leaves under the protected name Yka Leaves. A logical advice: use Lime Leaf only as a garnish and flavoring, not as a main meal: just like rhubarb, too much acid is bad for the bones! (Overwinter frost-free)
