A low-growing, spreading habit with trifoliate leaves that range from purple to green, including some bicolor and variegated varieties.

The leaves fold down at night and in some species, the flowers also close at night.

These plants form underground rhizomes or bulbous roots. This feature allows the plant to store excess resources, meaning if the plant does go dormant, it will be able to survive just fine. Dormant plants will not be actively using water, so reduce watering and aim to keep the soil just barely moist until your plant begins to grow again.

FUN FACT

Some species of Oxalis have seed pods that burst open upon contact, sending seeds several feet into the air!
