Oxalis ‘Black Velvet’

Oxalis ‘Black Velvet’ is a captivating perennial celebrated for its deep burgundy foliage reminiscent of black velvet. This compact plant, reaching 10-50cm in height and with a similar spread, is ideal for borders, rock gardens, or containers. Thriving in partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil, it requires minimal maintenance. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant but benefits from regular watering during dry spells and occasional deadheading for continuous blooms.

Delicate pink flowers add to its ornamental appeal. Oxalis ‘Black Velvet’ enhances any garden with its rich colour and texture, making it a sought-after choice for landscape design. Hardy in milder parts of the country, it will benefit from a thick mulch before the first frost.
