Easy to Grow Oxalis Iron Cross Shamrock 20 Plant Bulbs - Green & Purple Foliage with Pink Flowers Spring to Summer, Indoor or Outdoor Zones 8-10

Apologies for the messy pic, we just had storms come through. I was a little nervous that most were duds but slowly the ones in the sensory starter pods s began emerging and today I see that every single one has! They are so cute! I recommend planting them directly into a larger container that you plan to keep them in since the ones I planted in a larger pot sprouted first. I'm nervous to transplant them once they're a bit stronger but hopefully they'll be ok. ** UPDATE ** I have loved these bulbs/plant for the last 2 years. They can stay out year round in my zone, though they do die back for the winter. I left them out in a pot (with a water reservoir because they get so thirsty in our summer heat here) and they came up in the spring. This spring however, the squirrels dug up the bulbs and ate them, so I had to reorder some new bulbs. I'm a bit disappointed in the bulbs this time. They look ok but there are only 18, not the 20 I expected, and a few chunks of something - not bulbs, not even dried bulbs, just chunks of something, and they just came in the bag pictured, unlike last time when they came better wrapped and with a card from the seller, I think even care information from what I remember. This bag was just tossed in with my other Amazon order, I protected from the other items. I'm going to plant them and just be ok with the 18 bulbs. I adored this plant so I'm excited to have it again. I'm going to plant them straight into the ground this time and hope maybe the squirrels don't have such an easy time getting to them.

Bulbs did not grow and still looking at a pot of dirt. Gave my friend a pot of these for her birthday and hers have not grown either. So now we have 2 pots of dirt. Tried to message company but won’t allow me to send. Frustrated.

I struggled with the decision to buy a Shamrock plant already started or to start one myself. I decided I wanted the experience so went ahead and bought the bulbs. I planted about half according to directions and the size of the pot and then waited. And waited. AND waited. Being the impatient person I am, I tried to google everything I could to get a commitment from somebody on how long before they sprout. I found tons of info on how to care for them from soil to water to light. But for sprouting - all I got was "several weeks." But then - after pushing around the dirt ever so lightly (BAD habit, resist this urge and leave the poor thing alone), A SPROUT! It was like a miracle they came one after the other after the other and within a week voila! I planted them on Feb 2nd and first sprout was just shy of 3 weeks. All I did was plant them about 1-1-1/2" down, watered thoroughly, waited until dry about 1-1/2 weeks later, watered again and they sprouted. Picture taken today is what it looks like after only a week from first sprout. And they're still coming up. I'm excited to see how it looks when mature which shouldn't take long - it grows like a weed! Update Mar 7, 2017 Look at it grow!

I have boutght theses purple oxalis bulbs twice now and they are so easy to grow. I put them 1" in the soil, watered them and in less than two weeks I had them shooting up. Watering once per week or when my meter says. I have bought the green shamrock and the purple/green ones too with the same results. Full of beautiful leaves and delicate flowers. I gave some bulbs to my gardening friends and they love how easy they are to grow. Some bulbs are not as mature as others but they soon grow up too. Love the look mixed varieties in one pot. Looking in the soil I saw baby bulbs being formed. Happy day. Good supplier though I wish they would of had instructions. PS Use room temp water from your veggies (without salt) as a added bonus for watering your plants. They love it. (no celery, it has sodium) Salt/ sodium kills plants.

These are amazing very small bulbs that sprout up in no time and look great. That said, they like plenty of water and light, but not direct/intense sun. The spent stems need to be removed frequently, but they get great attention and comments from folks who see them. I also bought the purple and the green 3 leaf varities.
