Oxalis hardiness

Hi Jim:

I think your problem would be your summers, not the winters. O.
enneaphylla, O. loricata, O. adenophylla and O. laciniata would all be hardy
for your winters, but they wouldn't survive the heat of the summer.

I would like to echo Kenneth Hixson's request and extend it to USDA zone 5
-- what Oxalis species would be hardy outdoors in the ground where I live
in central Indiana?

Hi, all:
Would someone like to suggest an answer:
Which Oxalis are reasonably hardy? For me that means Zone 7.
.........
Other Oxalis would be trialed if they were likely to be hardy.
