Oxalis Triangularis is one of the most sought-after houseplants. The "Sanne" variety has distinctive burgundy wine leaves with what appears to be a light coat of silver, with soft pink flowers. Like the original variety of Oxalis Triangularis, they are easy to grow and mostly perennial plants, with rhizomes that profoundly grow leaves, divided into 3 leaflets like clovers, which resemble a butterfly.
This order includes the bulb/rhizome and not the full plant. The bulbs look like tiny immature pinecones.
