Make the most of those golden autumn months with a flashy twist of yellow and red, courtesy of Oxalis 'Golden Cape'. The flowers on these neat little plants are so spellbinding—the way they open during the day and close in the evening into a perfect candy-like twist—it’s like they’ve been conjured up by a wizard! Any splash of colour you can inject into the autumn garden is worth its weight in gold, and these jazzy Wood Sorrel are a shining example!
Perfect for a rockery or gravel garden setting as well as tucked in to free-draining borders and patio pots, these compact plants with dazzling striped blooms pop up for their moment in the spotlight between late summer and early winter—ideal if you’re looking to draw out the season of colour that little bit longer. If you protect Oxalis versicolor 'Golden Cape' from frost, you can look forward to a repeat show for years to come.

Plant profile
Plant calendar
Check whether your varieties prefer sun or shade, then choose a sheltered position in well-drained soil or a suitable pot or container.
Remove weeds and loosen compacted soil. Improve heavy ground with organic matter and horticultural grit. For containers, use peat-free multipurpose compost and ensure good drainage.
Plant at the depth recommended for each variety, as their requirements differ. Position shoots or pointed ends upwards. If the correct direction is unclear, plant them on their sides.
Follow the recommended spacing for each variety. Planting in clusters or informal drifts creates a natural display, but avoid placing them directly against one another.
Water after planting if the soil is dry. Keep containers lightly moist but never waterlogged. After flowering, allow foliage to yellow naturally before removing it.
