Oxalis purpurea 'Grand Duchess White' ('Grand Duchess White') - A deciduous bulb with large clover-like foliage that emerges in late fall through early spring. In mid-winter are borne the 1 1/2" wide white flowers.

Plant in full sun for best display but can grow well with less flowering in light shade. Give little or no summer irrigation. Hardy 15-20F. Can be a little invasive so may be best in a container.

We grew and sold this plant from 2003 until 2014. See our listing of Oxalis purpurea for more information about this species. 

The information displayed on this page about Oxalis purpurea 'Grand Duchess White' is based on our research conducted about this plant from books in our nursery library as well as from information that is provided by reliable online resources.
