What’s so special about CHARMED ® Oxalis that makes it a
gardener’s favorite shade-lover? Plenty. First, it offers all the
color and contrast of Coleus but with a restrained, mounding
habit that works perfectly in mid-vigor mixed containers. It
won’t crowd out other plants in combinations, and it provides
beautiful white to pale pink flowers. And if that’s not enough,
they’re great as a monoculture in 4.25 containers where
shamrock-shaped leaves provide a great opportunity for St.
Patrick’s Day sales and their longevity make CHARMED ® a
great Fall/Winter windowsill plant.

» Light shade is best for optimal growth.

lighting may be needed to keep plant compact for Northern growers.
