Oxalis adenopphylla

Hello, I live in Netherland so forgive me for any missplelling.

A couple of times I've tried to grow Oxalis adenophylla in my garden but every time they die for some reason. For approx. 8 weeks ago I've planted them again. a last attempt, but unfortunately they leaves start to become yellow rapidly.

What to do to prevent the plants from dying again?

    Hi Edd, thanks for your advice.

     

    Is it maybe better to buy bulbs in stead of plants?

    I think these die back after flowering, maybe they die back in summer even if they haven't flowered.

    I have failed to keep these but may have pulled them out with my many weeds. Or let them get swamped by the same weeds

    I guess the soil is to heavy and dry. I'll try it in peat which is easier to keep wet during the summer

     

    Thanks for the feed back.
