Planting & Care

Sow Oxalis valdiviensis seeds indoors 6–8 weeks before the last frost or directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. Lightly press seeds into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Germination typically occurs within 14–21 days at temperatures around 65–70°F (18–21°C). Once seedlings have a few true leaves, transplant them to their permanent location, spacing them 6–8 inches apart.

These plants thrive in well-drained soil and require moderate watering. They are relatively low-maintenance and can tolerate short periods of drought once established. Mulching around plants helps retain moisture and suppress weeds. In colder climates, provide winter protection or grow as an annual. Regular deadheading can encourage continued blooming.
