Creeping woodsorrel (Oxalis corniculata) is a native Florida ground cover with clover-like leaves and small, yellow flowers. It blooms year-round, especially in spring, attracting bees, flies, and small butterflies. Often found along roadsides and in disturbed areas, it spreads quickly by rooting from stems and seeds that germinate between 60°F and 80°F.
Although sometimes labeled a weed, its low-growing, spreading habit makes it an excellent, low-maintenance ground cover. It thrives in various conditions and can even be grown in containers as a potherb. Creeping woodsorrel is a resilient plant with real ecological value.
