Oxalis adenophylla, commonly known as Chilean oxalis or silver shamrock (among other common names), is an Argentinian and Chilean alpine plant. In Chile, it is distributed between the Santiago Metropolitan Region and the Aysen Region.[1]
It does well in far-north locations such as Sweden, Norway and Nova Scotia (Canada), as well as in purely temperate regions. Its cold-hardiness comes from the bulb's adaptation to freezing during dormancy. It is, however, susceptible to rot in the winter in temperate zones, a problem not present where ground freezes in winter. It is tolerant of some shade, but will bloom most with full sunlight.[2]
Cultivation
Hardiness: USDA Zones 4–10.[2] Outside of its native location, it is often used for rock gardens. It can also do well as a houseplant.
In the UK this plant has received the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]
