Wood sorrel (genus Oxalis) is a small, delicate perennial found in woodlands, meadows, and shaded garden corners across temperate regions. Recognizable by its trifoliate leaves—each leaflet heart-shaped and often folding at night—and its five-petaled yellow, pink, or white flowers, wood sorrel adds a gentle, cottage-garden charm to the understory. Its leaves and flowers have a bright, lemony tang from natural oxalic acid, used sparingly as a fresh garnish, in salads, or to brighten sauces; avoid large quantities, especially by those with kidney issues. While some species can spread readily and act as groundcover, others are valued for their subtle beauty and ecological role, providing early-season nectar for pollinators. Wood sorrel’s combination of tender form, mild tartness, and unassuming resilience makes it a quietly delightful plant in both wild and cultivated settings.
