Oxalis Triangularis – A Unique Purple Shamrock That Moves with Light

The Oxalis triangularis, or Purple Shamrock, is a fascinating plant with delicate, vibrant purple leaves that open during the day and close at night in response to light changes. These plants grow from small underground corms and may enter dormancy in colder months before re-sprouting when warmer weather returns.

Important Note About Shipping & Dormancy

Oxalis triangularis has fragile foliage that may experience stress during transit. If your plant loses its leaves upon arrival, don’t worry! The corms are still healthy, and new growth will quickly emerge once the plant is settled in its new environment.

Care Guidelines

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Can also be grown in a shaded outdoor spot.
  • Watering: Keep soil partially moist, allowing it to dry slightly between waterings—avoid letting it dry out completely.
  • Dormancy: When grown indoors, dormancy is less likely. If it does go dormant, reduce watering and wait for regrowth in spring.
  • Potting & Growth: Grows best in well-draining soil and thrives in both indoor and outdoor conditions.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot.

We ship plants every Monday to non-quarantine states. Please place your order before 2 pm on Sunday to ensure your plant is sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time may not be shipped until the following week.

Orders to WA and TAS are shipped on selected dates only due to quarantine requirements. Orders for WA and TAS must be placed by 12 pm (midday) on the Friday before dispatch. Please see the list of WA and TAS shipping dates at the bottom of this page.

Shipping for plants to non-quarantine states is capped at $18.00 per order. Shipping for plants to WA and TAS is capped at $30.00 per order. We currently do not ship plants to NT.

Shipping costs include packing materials, labour, and certification where required. We use recycled packaging where possible to reduce waste and keep costs down, while ensuring all packing materials are sturdy enough to protect your plants during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We do not request signature on delivery, as parcels returned to the post office may not be collected for several days, which can place additional stress on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from Northern Wellbeing Centre, 113C Miller Street, Epping VIC. If you select this option at checkout, we will email you to arrange a pickup time.
