The Pink Buttercups, 'Oxalis adenophylla', a fall planted bulb, forms thick carpets of bright, deep pink flowers. The flowers are not the only attractive part of the plant. The finely incised greenish-gray leaves only add to Oxalis adenophylla's beauty. Oxalis adenophylla originates from Chili and Argentina where it grows high up in the mountains. This plant is also known as Chilean Wood Sorrel, Silver Shamrock, Pink Carpet Oxalis, Pink Sauerklee, and Sandoxalis. The flowers are most intense in mid summer, but they can begin blooming much earlier.Pink Buttercups are excellent in rock gardens, containers, or as a houseplant. Because of their short stature, they are also used as drought resistant ground cover. They prefer well drained soils. They do not winter well in wet soils.
