Description
Pink Shamrock is a particularly interesting and beautiful member of the worldwide Oxalis family, which includes the wood sorrels and clover-leaved plants of all sizes and descriptions. This oxalis is native to Mexico, but has been cultivated in Europe since Victorian times. It is particularly handsome, both in flower and foliage, and has lots of common names. 'Iron Cross Oxalis' is one, and 'The Good Luck Plant' is another. Each of this plant's leaves is a perfect four-leaf clover. What's more, the leaves have distinct 'iron cross' markings in the centers, in fact, some hybrids have a clear maroon splotch on each petal, forming a cross. Pink Shamrock's summer flowers are also edible, often used in salads.
Oxalis tetraphylla, formerly known as Oxalis deppei, is hardy to approximately zone 7, and it makes a great container plant anywhere. Unlike many of its genus, this Oxalis enjoys full sun. It's slow to come up in the spring after winter, and begins blooming in July.'

Reviews
Quite Cute
"These flowers are tiny but cute. Some of my shamrocks have been eaten by the local rabbits but others are hidden and doing fine. I had one dry up and die because it was in poor soil the the rest are doing great. Overall, they are great to fill in areas at the front of the border and are low maintenance."
it came back from the dead!
"I got this thing in 2022. It lived for a month or so, then it died. There was an insane drought, heat wave, and then a year later, it was a really cool summer, and then this year there was a crapton of rain for months. I really don't know how the heck this little guy survived, but about a month ago, a few of these bulbs just started coming up from the dead, and then one of them even sprouted a little flower! I will note, it's 2024 now, and I don't recall seeing this thing survive past 2022, so my guess is that it became dormant, possibly grew a little and quickly died, but became dormant again. Also, it seems to be growing perfectly fine in an area that has a little salt in the soil, that's pretty cool. I'd recommend if you just need something for groundcover."
Would surely buy again and give as gifts
"I used mine along the privacy fence and in long window box planters. They started growing within a week seeing tiny green spikes. Gets 16 inches tall and 24 inches round. Love the the tiny pink flowers."
Loved them
"This product started growing in the bag itself before I put it in pots, like it forced me to put it in , grew beautifully"
Best shamrocks ever
"Hello my name is Remy and I am 8 I love the shamrocks they are so pretty with pink flowers. We planted five bulbs and it grew about 60 shamrocks. They are so pretty I would buy a lot . When we planted the shamrocks they were every where and really pretty. They are all beautiful when they grow and they are so pretty I want them everywhere"
A very unusual plant to have in a pot!
"I got this plant to have something different in one of my pots. And, it turned out to be very unusual. The shamrocks are numerous and about 12 times the size of an average clover and with long stems that cascade over the side of the pot. It is very east to grow, even in a shady spot and the flowers are small but pretty."
Such happy plants!
"These always make me smile. Deer occasionally eat them but they always bounce back!"
Very interesting shamrock because it was new to me.
"Just to enjoy the whole process of planting and growing something very pretty."
A bright hello in spring
"Planted in a protected shady area and popped up this spring with such charming flowers."
Perfect plant for new gardeners
"These have been a delight all around. They sprouted first among my spring plants, have not attracted disease or pests and are prolific with blooms throughout summer from what I've seen so far. I kept them in containers but think I could have just as easily transferred to my flower bed which was my initial plan. No hesitation highly recommending."
