What is this plant called?

I've just been to the garden centre and seen a beautiful plant, I asked the horticulturist and he said it was an oxalia???? I cannot find anything about them, probably because I'm spelling it wrong. Please help!!!!

What is this plant called?
Perhaps you are thinking of oxalis?
Reply:I have just looked on ask.com go on there you will find something .
Reply:Oxalis is the largest genus in the wood sorrel family Oxalidaceae. Of the approximately 900 known species in the Oxalidaceae, 800 belong to Oxalis. These plants are annual or perennial. The leaves are divided into three to ten or more round, heart-shaped or lanceolate leaflets, arranged in a whorl with all the leaflets of roughly equal size. The majority of species have three leaflets; in these species, the leaves are superficially similar to those of some clovers, though clovers differ in having the leaflets not in a whorl, and of unequal size with two smaller side leaflets and one larger central leaflet.

Reply:Most people consider that to be a weed.
Reply:Small low growing plant. probably Oxalis or wood sorrel. Try yahoo or google searrch.. There are a lot of varieties with different cloured flowers.
Reply:Oxalis comes in different varieties. Different color leaves and flowers. I have a pink flowering one. It's a perennial meaning it comes back year after year.
Reply:Were its leaves divided into three leaflets like a clover? If so it is an Oxalis. They are sweet but can be invasive
Reply:Don't know where you live, but in Arkansas it's a violet wood sorrel.

Reply:Oxalis - a beautiful group of plants which CAN get quite rampant with the right conditions. Clover is in the same family - it grows where the soil is nitrogen rich (so a good indicator of a good soil!)
