Dewey, You must live in a warmer climate than zone 6 (such as Wichita
Kansas). Oxalis is only a house plant here as far as I have seen. I am
surprised that you have something like it that seeds as I have been
hunting for seed for years. All I can find is plants and bulbs (corms?).
What's your climate, soil and sun/shade aspect like? Do you know if the
seeds are viable long enough to mail?

I have a knack for killing these kinds of plants (bulbs in pots), and
suppose I need to learn something important about how to mix a free
draining soil so they don't root rot. I don't know how to achieve the
"moist but not wet" prescription for an entire season.  I keep trying to
grow sparaxis, gloxinia, and begonia with similar results. Is 50% sand
high enough?
