Oxalis - but which one?
« on: June 10, 2013, 10:13:23 AM »
Can anyone identify the exact name of the Oxalis shown in the photo for me please as I have lost the label?  It’s tiny, with white flowers and is in my alpine bed. Only about 2 cms high but creeping. Thanks.

Looks very much like Oxalis magellanica to me.

Thanks, having looked it up that sounds about right.  Only problem is that it could be invasive - see how it goes.  Thanks again.

No two ways about it, it IS invasive. But not too hard to pull out when it goes where you do not want it and it does cover the ground nicely.
