Yellow Wood Sorrel

Yellow Wood Sorrel (Oxalis stricta) is an annual plant that thrives in light to full sun and prefers dry to moist soil with a medium texture, such as sandy or loamy conditions. Native to regions including Alabama, Arkansas, British Columbia, China, and parts of North America like Colorado and Connecticut, this plant can be found across a wide range from Canada to the southern United States and into Mexico. Known for its edible leaves, flowers, roots, and seedpods, it is often cultivated for culinary use. One distinctive feature of Yellow Wood Sorrel is its bright yellow clover-like foliage, which sets it apart in gardens or natural settings.
