How To Buy Oxalis
- 1). Decide whether you want to buy invasive or non-invasive oxalis plants. The invasive plants will grow much faster and spread in all directions rapidly. Invasive oxalis will be much more difficult to control. Non-invasive types of Oxalis grow at a much steadier rate, and would be a better choice for a well-groomed garden.
- 2). Ascertain which type of oxalis plant you wish to purchase. Iron Cross and Purple Shamrock are types of non-invasive oxalis; Silver & Gold Oxalis, Redwood Sorrel and Violet Wood Sorrel are invasive types of oxalis. These plants all all have different needs and attributes. Research the different oxalis plants and decide which type you want to purchase.
- 3). Visit your local garden center. You can do all the online research you want, but you should always speak to an expert. A worker at your local garden center can give you direct advice, and perhaps even show you examples of different oxalis plants you may wish to purchase.
- 4). Compare prices online and in several garden centers. There is no shortage of reference points to compare the prices of the oxalis you wish to buy. Check online garden centers, as well as garden centers in your town to find the type of oxalis you want and to compare the prices.
- 5). Talk to other gardeners about oxalis care. Internet forums such as gardenforum.co.uk, gardenweb.com and davesgarden.com could all be sources of excellent information about the oxalis plant before and after you purchase it.
