It looks delicate but makes an impact

Name:'Zinfandel' oxalis (Oxais vulcanicola 'Zinfandel')
Zones: 9 to 11
Size:6 to 10 inches tall and 1 foot wide
Conditions:Partial shade; moist,well-drained soil
Peak Time: Spring through summer

This old-fashioned shamrock houseplant is now high fashion. 'Zinfandel' oxalis has elegant foliage; abundant, delicate flowers; and good vigor.Its tiny, 3/4-inch-wide, bronze-colored leaf clusters and bright yellow flowers are massed on trailing stems, which spill over the sides of shaded window boxes and containers. Though this plant is frost tender,it is easy to overwinter indoors.
