The RHS treats Oxalis debilis as a persistent garden weed. It spreads by tiny bulbils that break off easily, travel on tools, boots and soil, and stay alive in the ground for years. Weedkillers do not work well on it. The RHS advises growing it in a container, and you should not put it in a home compost heap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIs it good for wildlife?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe RHS notes that the leaves shelter ground-living invertebrates and feed the caterpillars of the bright-line brown-eye moth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhich size should I buy?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBare-root plants (7 cm, 9 cm, 1 litre and 3 litre) arrive without a pot or compost and are the most economical way to plant a group.

Packs of 3 come in 7 cm, 9 cm, 1 litre and 3 litre bare-root sizes and cost less per plant. The 2x Pot \u0026amp; Compost option is two plants supplied with pots and compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Lincolnshire Pond Plants","offers":[{"title":"1 \/ 7cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368650461517,"sku":"BP091-plug","price":2.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 \/ 9cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368650494285,"sku":"BP091-9cm","price":6.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 9cm Potted","offer_id":54324751860045,"sku":"BP091-9cmpot","price":8.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 1Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368650527053,"sku":"BP091-1ltr","price":10.72,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 1Ltr Potted","offer_id":54324751925581,"sku":"BP091-1ltrpot","price":12.67,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 \/ 3Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368650559821,"sku":"BP091-3ltr","price":19.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 \/ 3Ltr Potted","offer_id":54324751991117,"sku":"BP091-3ltrpot","price":23.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"1 \/ 2x Pot \u0026 Compost","offer_id":54368650592589,"sku":"BP091-2xpot-2xcompost","price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 7cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368650625357,"sku":"BP091-Plug-3x","price":7.41,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"3 \/ 9cm Bareroot","offer_id":54368650658125,"sku":"BP091-9cm-3x","price":19.38,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 1Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368650690893,"sku":"BP091-1Ltr-3x","price":30.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 \/ 3Ltr Bareroot","offer_id":54368650723661,"sku":"BP091-3Ltr-3x","price":55.58,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/6961\/6973\/files\/Oxalis_corymbosa_3.jpg?v=1788314964","url":"https:\/\/thefoalyard.co.uk\/products\/lincolnshire-pond-plants-oxalis-corymbosa-pink-wood-sorrel-pond-edge-and-border-plant","provider":"The Foalyard","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
