Product Information
Full details
The Thompson & Morgan Oxalis Autumn Pink is perfect for gardeners looking to add dynamic, seasonal color to rockeries, gravel beds, or indoor containers. These charming bulbs are best known for their unique habit of opening their candy-striped, rose-pink flowers in the sunlight and closing them at dusk, providing a captivating daily transformation in your garden or home. While they are highly versatile, it is important to note that these plants are not frost-hardy and require protection or indoor relocation during colder months.

FAQs
Can I grow these indoors?
Yes, they thrive on bright indoor windowsills.
Do I need to lift the bulbs in winter?
If you live in a cold climate prone to frost, it is recommended to either move the pots indoors or lift the bulbs to store them in a frost-free area.
How often should I water them?
Keep the compost moist during the active growing season, but reduce watering significantly as the plant enters dormancy.
When do these flowers bloom?
They are specifically known for providing color from late summer through the autumn months.
Are the decorative pots included?
No, the bulbs are supplied as a pack and do not include decorative pots.
What kind of soil do they prefer?
They prefer well-drained soil, making them perfect for rockeries, gravel gardens, or standard potting compost in containers.
Troubleshooting
Flowers are not opening
The flowers are light-sensitive; ensure the plant is receiving adequate direct sunlight during the day.
Yellowing or mushy leaves
This is often a sign of overwatering. Ensure the soil has proper drainage and allow the top layer of compost to dry slightly between waterings.
Plant looks wilted during the day
Check if the soil is dry. While they close at night, persistent wilting during the day indicates a need for water or that the plant is too hot.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Engaging, light-reactive flowers that close at night
- Versatile for both indoor and outdoor use
- Forms attractive, low-maintenance foliage mounds
- Adds late-season color when other plants may be fading
Cons
- Not frost-tolerant and requires protection
- Decorative pots are not included with the bulb pack
- Requires careful watering management during dormancy
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure success, plant your bulbs in well-draining compost or soil. When growing in containers, ensure the pot has adequate drainage holes. During the active growing season, keep the compost consistently moist but not waterlogged. As the plant approaches its natural dormancy period, gradually reduce watering to allow the bulbs to rest. In regions with frost, it is essential to move container-grown Oxalis indoors or provide heavy mulching for those in the ground to protect the bulbs from freezing temperatures.
