Bermuda Buttercup

Bermuda Buttercup (Oxalis pes-caprae) is a perennial forb or herb native to the Cape Provinces and Namibia in southern Africa. This invasive species has spread beyond its native range due to its adaptability and prolific growth. Known for its edible parts, including flowers, leaves, and roots, it can be found thriving in dry to moist conditions with light (sandy) to medium soil types. The plant prefers a pH between 7.5 and 8 and grows up to 0.2 meters tall. One distinctive feature of Bermuda Buttercup is its clover-like leaves, which are often three-lobed, resembling the headgear of goats, hence its alternative name "Goat's Foot."
