Marcie O on Apr 17, 2012It is definitely an Oxalis on the left. And I have to agree with an earlier comment on a Weigela shrub. It is difficult to see clearly, but if it is a woody plant, I would go with the Weigela. There are many varieties of the Weigela. There are some varigated and some with red flowers also.Helpful Reply

Flowerscapes Garden Design & Landscaping on Apr 17, 2012The Oxalis comes in green also. Some varieties have white flowers, others pink blooms. Some have leaves that are two toned. The purple ones look nice next to light pink impatiens and/or Blue Daze Evolvulus. Also pretty when paired with Scabiosa, the pin cushion flower and many other flowers. The pics are from a Garden that I designed and planted.Helpful Reply
