Experience the profound joy of growing your very own "purple butterflies" from scratch! We are thrilled to offer premium, dormant corms of the beloved Oxalis Triangularis (Purple Shamrock). While buying a fully potted plant is great, there is something incredibly rewarding about planting these tiny, unassuming bulb-like structures and watching them erupt into a vibrant, dynamic cascade of deep magenta foliage.
These corms arrive in their dormant state, ready to be woken up. Once planted in slightly moist soil and placed in bright, indirect light, they will quickly break dormancy. Before you know it, you will have a lush, living centerpiece that gracefully folds its leaves to sleep at night and opens them wide to greet the morning sun.
What Exactly is a Corm?
Corms are swollen, underground plant stems that act as energy storage units. They look a bit like tiny, scaly pinecones or weird little bulbs. This energy reserve is what allows the Oxalis to survive harsh conditions by going dormant, and it’s the fuel that will push out rapid, vigorous new growth once planted in your home.
Patience is Key!
When you receive your corms, they will look completely dry and lifeless. Don't worry, this is exactly how they are supposed to look during dormancy! They are just sleeping. Once planted, they typically take a few weeks to break dormancy and send their first delicate shoots up through the soil.
