5 Bulbs Iron Cross Shamrock Oxalis tetraphylla Good Luck Plant

Iron Cross Shamrock is a charming ornamental bulb prized for its distinctive four-leafed foliage, with each leaflet marked by a bold burgundy cross at its center. This compact, clover-like plant adds a cheerful accent to beds, borders, containers, and rock gardens, and its neat mounding habit makes it an easy choice for both new and experienced gardeners.

Ideal for edging, patio pots, and indoor windowsills with bright light, Iron Cross Shamrock produces small rosy-pink funnel-shaped blooms above the foliage during its growing season. The leaves fold down at night or in low light, adding a touch of natural curiosity to the planting. Plant the bulbs in groups for the fullest display and allow the foliage to mature naturally after bloom.
