Oxalis recommendations?

Oxalis articulata var. crassipes is hardy in Z5a if you put 5 cm (2 inch) of
polystyrene foam (=styrofoam),plant in full sun. Seedlings are not hardy
here, so without protection they die.

Best,

Dear Christiaan, Mary Sue, Nhu and all,

All the new pix are dazzling, BUT....

......to me Oxalis is an alternate spelling for 'weed'.

I need some recommendations and advice for some good looking,
easy to grow species or cvs. that are:

1. Hardy

2. Easy to winter over in a cold climate

3. Not likely to jump around and become a new weed in pots

4. Showy

5. Other fabulous quality.

Right now I only intentionally grow O. versicolor (Thanks Roy
and BX) which has just begun to bloom again.

Can someone give a list of top 10 easy/hardy etc Oxalis for
pot or ground?

Thanks Jim
