Oxalis corniculata seed
LATIN NAME: Oxalis corniculata
COMMON NAME: Creeping Wood Sorrel
The creeping wood sorrel spreads its small, clover-like leaves and the tiny, yellow, five-petalled flowers, and the whole plant carries the fine, low, creeping look of the warm garden. The low, creeping, perennial plant carries the small, clover-like, three-part leaves with the three heart-shaped leaflets and the tiny, yellow, five-petalled flowers in the small clusters on the slender stalks through the warm season, one of the fine, quiet sights of the pot and the border, drawing the bees, to be followed by the small, narrow, pointed capsules which split open with the fine, elastic force. The young leaves have a very long record as the fine, fresh, sour greens of the warm tables, and the plant is a fine, historic presence of the warm garden. It is a plant of the open, sunny, deep, moist, well-drained ground.
Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology
The creeping wood sorrel is a historic subject of the plant science, and the clover-like leaves keep showing up in the work on the low spreading plants. The way the small, narrow, pointed capsules split open with the fine, elastic force to scatter the tiny seeds has been studied at length, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the low spreading plants, the heart-shaped leaflets and the members of the wood-sorrel family. The sour leaves and the creeping habit have also made it a fine study plant, and the creeping wood sorrel is a regular subject of the work on the clover-like leaves of the warm world.
Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications
The creeping wood sorrel is a fine, quiet plant of the warm garden and the study collection. The small, clover-like, three-part leaves with the three heart-shaped leaflets spread over the pot and the border, one of the fine, quiet sights of the warm garden, drawing the bees, and the young leaves have a very long record as the fine, fresh, sour greens of the warm tables, the fresh leaves coming to the salads, the cool drinks and the sour plates of the old kitchens, while the tiny, yellow, five-petalled flowers in the small clusters on the slender stalks open through the warm season, to be followed by the small, narrow, pointed capsules which split open with the fine, elastic force. It is one of the fine choices for the pot, the border and the study collection, and it has been written about in the culinary and the botanical papers for the sour leaves and the very long history. It is a fine, quiet plant of the open, sunny, deep, moist, well-drained garden.
Give the young plants the deep, moist bed, and the clover mats will spread over the warm months.
To grow the creeping wood sorrel from seed, sow the tiny, brown seeds a couple of centimetres down in the tray of rich, sandy soil, keep the tray in a bright, open spot and water gently, then set the young plants out in the open ground. The seedlings appear within a couple of weeks and grow on fast. With the sun and the deep, moist, well-drained ground, the clover mats will spread over the warm months.
Sowing: When planted without tube which side is the root bud, lying buried in the earth.
Soil and Fertilizer: Health is very strong, in general, strict requirements on the soil, primarily clean water permeability is better, fertilizer is organic fertilizer, little weight can be.
