    @Daithi29, I expect you’re looking at petunia Tidal Wave Red Velour or lythrum Dropmore Purple.

    @Daithi29 Hey!  It's 

    Oxalis triangularis     subsp. papilionacea

    purpleleaf false shamrock

    I'll have to bring it in soon and lock it away in the spare room (toxic to cats!).

    @jamessayersbrown.    I love that.

    I saw it on GW a few months back (as a houseplant) and went to Homebase the day after to get some grit.  I was amazed to see a trolley full of them so picked one up.  It suffered at first because of the hot spring/early summer so I moved it under the table where it has thrived ever since.  

    I just hope it survives in the spare room over winter.  We have the radiators turned off in that room so it should be OK.  

    I just did a google search and they are available/in stock on a few websites.  :)

    Thankyou,I will keep an eye out for that. Its obviously not like normal Shamrock or Oxalisthat you just leave outside. The colours are beautiful.
