OXALIS FOR THE GARDEN 
There is an elfin daintiness about the exquisitely former 
blossoms of Oxalis. They are in bloom for months. Valued 
for edgings, their rich foliage commenting them for this, 
as well as their spendthrift color showing. Then the rock 
garden needs them, and the Floribunda Oxalis grows tall 
enough to be clumped at the front of the mixed border.
