Oxalis
'Pink Spider'
sauerklee
Look forward to autumn and a fresh burst of blooms, courtesy of Oxalis 'Pink Spider'. This adorable compact plant is a delight to watch unfurl as summer turns to autumn, starting with delicate wispy foliage which is later topped with a glorious late-season display of pretty pink flowers. To enjoy Oxalis 'Pink Spider' to the full, we recommend planting this sweet little sorrel in pots which can be positioned higher than ground level. Golden autumn days feel extra magical when there are new flowers to admire in the garden!
While Oxalis 'Pink Spider' is great for growing in pots, its also looks very much at home in rockeries. This variety is not fully hardy though, so unless you’re growing it in an area where there’s no risk of freezing over winter, we find pots the safest option. Potted plants can easily be moved under cover for frosty nights. This type of Oxalis flowers throughout autumn and into winter when temperatures are cool/cold. It will become dormant in spring when the weather warms warm up.

Plant calendar
Check whether your varieties prefer sun or shade, then choose a sheltered spot with well-drained soil. Most spring bulbs also grow well in containers.
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.
