Kristl:

    I have never grown these but AHS A-Z digest says they are slow
growing, rhizomatous perennial that produce flowers in late spring and
early summer. It says that that you can divide mature clump CAREFULLY in
spring. Says they grow in humus rich soil, moist soil in partial to deep
shade. Need to shelter from winds.

    Hope this helps. I see a photo of it and it looks alot like a tree
peony.

Oxalis adenophylla is a clump forming perennial that is hardy to zone
6-8. It comes from the Andes, Chile and Argentina which accounts for
it's hardiness. Still have not found a source but will forward it if I
do.
