Oxalis Burgundy, also known as Oxalis spiralis ssp. vulcanicola, Volcanic Sorrel, and Velvet Oxalis, is native to Central and South America. This low-maintenance plant has a compact cascading habit of 6-10" tall and 10-12" wide. With dark red leaves and yellow flowers that bloom from spring through summer, Burgundy is an excellent addition to any landscape. It is well-suited to containers, spilling over low walls, and as a groundcover. This non-invasive Oxalis variety offers a unique texture to the garden, flourishing in full or partial sun with moderate water. A tender perennial in zone 9-11, Volcanic Sorrel grows as an annual in cool climates or as a houseplant.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Burgundy, use well-drained soil in partial to full sun with medium feed (150-200 ppm N), a pH of 5.8-6.2, and an EC (2:1) of 0.6-0.9. Provide medium to high light and maintain temperatures of 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit. Plant one rooted liner per 4-inch container or 3-5 per 10-12 inch container. Pinch once. This plant is not affected by any significant pests or diseases.
Flowering
Yellow flowers bloom from early spring through summer.
Pinching
Pinch once 14 days after transplanting.
Spacing
Space containers to provide airflow and sunlight penetration to the base of each plant. Burgundy can grow to a spread of 12 inches.
Height Control
This plant doesn't usually need chemical growth regulators. Sumagic is effective if needed.
Pests
This plant isn't prone to pests.
Disease
This plant isn't prone to disease. In the greenhouse, always take preventative measures to avoid botrytis and root rot. Water at the base of each plant in the morning. Provide sufficient airflow in the greenhouse, and space containers to allow each plant to have airflow and sunlight penetration to the base of the container.
Planting Burgundy Liners
We recommend planting one rooted plug per 4-inch container or 3-5 per 10-inch or 12-inch container. Use well-drained soil and completely bury the ellepot in the center or equally spaced in the pot.
Rooted Cuttings
Cuttings vary in size between different plant families. These rooted starter plants will arrive ready to be transplanted in to your final container. If they are to be used in a landscape application, you will need to establish them in a 4 inch pot or an 1801 before planting outside.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
