10 Seeds Chilean Yellow Clover Oxalis valdiviensis Ornamental Flowering Groundcover
Chilean Yellow Clover (Oxalis valdiviensis) is a charming low-growing flowering plant prized for its bright golden-yellow blooms and neat clover-like foliage. Native to Chile and nearby regions of South America, it forms tidy clumps or a soft carpet of green leaves topped with cheerful flowers, making it a lovely choice for borders, rock gardens, containers, and meadow-style plantings.
This species is grown primarily for its ornamental value, where its dense habit and long flowering period help fill bare spots and add seasonal color. The foliage stays compact and attractive through the growing season, and the flowers draw attention without demanding much upkeep. It performs well in sunny, well-drained positions and can be used as a small-scale groundcover or mixed into wildflower and pollinator-friendly plantings.
