Characteristics
Oxalis plants are known for their unique, trifoliate leaves, which resemble clover. The leaves can be green or purple and are often sensitive to light, folding up at night or during adverse weather. Oxalis flowers are equally enchanting, typically small and delicate, ranging in colours from white and yellow to pink and purple. These plants can be either annual or perennial, depending on the species and growing conditions.
