Lime Clover, Green 'Fanny'

Lime Clover, Green 'Fanny'

Product number: 409095.1
Origin: South America
Latin: Oxalis triangularis

AVAILABLE ALMOST YEAR-ROUND, EXCEPT FOR A FEW PERIODS. The most remarkable clover we know. This Brazilian species is not only exceptionally elegant with its fresh green leaves (usually with light marbled spots) and sharply contrasting, light pink flowers, but also very tasty! I snack on the leaves wherever I see them: a delicious lime flavour, fresh and sour yet a little sweet. Wonderful 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 piece of advice: use the Lime Leaf only as a garnish and flavour enhancer, not as a main meal: just like rhubarb, too much acid is bad for the bones! (Overwinter frost-free)

Denominations:

Dutch: Love Plant, Moss Clover

Plant immediately upon receipt: year-round (or store the corms in the refrigerator). Between August and March, you can also grow the plants indoors, but with some extra winter cover, they are also quite winter-hardy. Planting depth: 2-3x the size of the bulb.
