You would need to ID the oxalis to determine it's hardiness. All of the
oxalis I have grown are not hardy in my area hence are grown in pots. In
late summer you cease watering and allow the folliage to dry completely. You
store the pots, at rest, for the cold months, restarting in spring. They can
multiply very quickly and need repotting in two or three years.
There are numerous species of oxalis. The International Bulb Society has a
website where they are accumulating pix and culture of every bulb, called
geophytes over there. It is not complete to date but is quite helpful.
