Jenny- Hide quoted text -- Show quoted text - They may well survive a winter outside, I had one that reappeared for many years left outside in the ground, depends on where you are and how much frost you get this winter. Wont survive in a pot though, if it's in a pot you need to bring it in. |

Perhaps Oxalis triangularis purpurea. -- That looks about right, as Jenny says not 100% hardy in UK. Also susceptible to a very damaging rust disease. -- Rod My real address is rodthegardeneratmyisp |
