Description




Our premium yellow wood sorrel seeds feature stable germination rate and low creeping clumping growth habit. Botanically named Oxalis stricta, this lovely perennial ground cover bears delicate three-lobed clover-like green foliage and countless tiny bright golden-yellow five-petal blossoms. The cute foliage folds gently at night and on rainy days, adding unique dynamic beauty to the garden.
Wood sorrel boasts excellent cold hardiness and outstanding drought tolerance, adapting to poor soil, partial shade and harsh growing conditions. It blooms continuously from mid-spring all the way to early autumn. Famous for its interesting explosive seed pods that self-sow naturally, it quickly forms lush dense ground cover. Perfect for garden front edging, under-tree greening, slope ecological protection, wildflower meadow collocation and balcony container potted planting. It grows well in ordinary loose well-drained garden soil without high fertilizer requirements. Only occasional watering during long drought and simple weeding are needed, making it an ideal low-maintenance ground cover for ecological landscaping and novice gardening lovers.

Planting Instructions

  1. Soil Preparation: Choose loose, breathable, well-drained sandy loam or ordinary garden soil, avoid heavy clay and waterlogged low land to prevent root rot.
  2. Sowing Method: Scatter tiny seeds evenly on the soil surface, cover with an ultra-thin 0.2–0.3cm soil layer, light helps improve germination rate. Soak seeds in warm water for 6 hours to accelerate sprouting.
  3. Germination Condition: Keep topsoil slightly moist without stagnant water, maintain constant temperature 18–25°C, seeds germinate within 7–15 days.
  4. Seedling Care: Thin overcrowded seedlings for proper spacing; full sunlight ensures vigorous growth and more blooms, partial shade is also acceptable.
  5. Daily Maintenance: Water thoroughly only after soil completely dries up; remove mature seed pods timely if you want to control its spreading range; add thin mulch at the root base for winter protection in extremely cold areas.
