Oxalis violacea
violet wood sorrel
Violet wood-sorrel, is a cheerful little plant! It blooms in late spring to early summer with small purple flowers that look like they’ve been drawn by a child’s crayon. The plant forms low, spreading clumps of clover-like leaves. The flowers attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, oh my!
Violet wood-sorrel is edible IN SMALL AMOUNTS (always do your own research first). Its tart, lemony leaves can be tossed into salads for a lemony zing. It’s also deer-resistant, so it won’t end up as a snack for any hungry critters that wander through.
Plants can be purchased in-person or online (with in-person pick-up).
All online orders will be ready for pick-up 24-72 hours after purchase. You will receive an email to let you know when your order is ready. We kindly ask that you pick-up any orders within one week of purchase.
