Iron Cross Shamrock (Oxalis tetraphylla 'Iron Cross')

Iron Cross Shamrock is a cheerful bulbous perennial valued for its four-part green foliage, dark burgundy center markings, and bright pink flowers. Each leaf has four heart-shaped leaflets with a bold cross-like marking in the center, giving the plant a distinctive good-luck look in containers, borders, and bright indoor displays. Pink to coral-pink flowers appear during active growth, adding color above the foliage from spring into summer in favorable conditions. With bright light, well-drained soil, and careful watering, Iron Cross Shamrock brings playful foliage, seasonal flowers, and easy container appeal to patios, windowsills, and garden beds.

Distinctive Features

Iron Cross Shamrock produces clover-like leaves divided into four green leaflets, each marked with a dark maroon to burgundy blotch near the center. The foliage can shift with light, opening and closing or changing angle through the day, which gives the plant a lively quality when grown up close. Pink to coral-pink five-petaled flowers rise above the leaves during active growth and provide a bright contrast to the patterned foliage. This plant grows from small bulb-like structures and can multiply over time, making it useful in containers, seasonal plantings, and frost-free garden beds.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Grows best in full sun to partial shade outdoors or bright indirect light indoors, with afternoon shade helpful in hot climates.
  • Soil: Prefers light, well-drained soil or potting mix that holds modest moisture without staying soggy.
  • Water: Water moderately during active growth, allowing the upper soil to dry slightly between waterings, and reduce watering when growth slows or the plant rests.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 7 to 10 in protected conditions, while colder climates should grow it as a seasonal container plant or overwinter bulbs indoors.
  • Mature Size: Typically reaches about 6 to 10 inches tall and 8 to 12 inches wide, depending on light, container size, and growing conditions.
  • Habit: Forms a compact, clumping bulbous perennial with delicate stems, four-part foliage, and a low mounding outline.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a patterned foliage focal point in small containers, tabletop planters, windowsill displays, border fronts, or mixed seasonal plantings where its four-leaflet leaves can be enjoyed up close.
  • Container Planting: Grow in decorative pots where the dark-centered foliage and pink flowers can brighten patios, porches, and entry areas.
  • Houseplant: Grow indoors near a bright window where its compact size and good-luck foliage can bring seasonal color to small spaces.
  • Seasonal Accent: Add to warm-season patio containers, window boxes, and mixed annual displays for color, texture, and small-scale charm.
  • Border Front: Plant near the front of sunny to partly shaded beds where its low habit and patterned leaves can edge the planting.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water when the upper soil begins to dry, then allow excess water to drain fully so the bulbs stay moist but not waterlogged.
  • Light Care: Provide bright light for the strongest foliage pattern and best flowering, while protecting plants from harsh heat or scorching afternoon sun.
  • Dormancy: If the plant naturally declines or rests, reduce watering, remove tired foliage, and resume normal care when fresh growth appears.
  • Fertilizing: Feed lightly during active growth with a balanced fertilizer, using a modest approach to avoid excessive soft growth.
  • Overwintering: In cold climates, lift and store bulbs after frost or move containers indoors before freezing temperatures arrive.
  • Cleanup: Remove yellowing leaves and spent flowers as needed to keep the plant looking fresh and tidy.

Why Choose Iron Cross Shamrock?

  • Distinctive Foliage: Displays four green leaflets with dark burgundy center markings that create a bold cross-like pattern.
  • Pink Flowers: Produces bright pink to coral-pink blooms that add cheerful color during active growth.
  • Compact Size: Fits small pots, windowsills, tabletop planters, border fronts, and mixed containers with ease.
  • Container Friendly: Grows well in pots when given bright light, good drainage, and moderate watering.
  • Seasonal Charm: Brings a good-luck foliage look and playful texture to indoor displays, patios, and warm-season garden plantings.

Iron Cross Shamrock is an excellent choice for gardeners who want a compact plant with patterned foliage, bright flowers, and flexible container appeal. Its four-part leaves, burgundy center markings, pink blooms, and easy seasonal use make it a charming option for bright windows, patios, border fronts, and decorative planters.

Absolutely Amazing Price, Great Quality
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
I was very shocked woth the quality and size of these book, I was fortunate to purchase them on sale for under $40 and I have to say I'm impressed. Both book are outstanding pretty thick, and have alot if heft to them, they make excellent additions to the bookshelf, shrine, or collection, and are a mist for any Elder Scrolls or ESO fan. (Bonus if you have the Skyrim Library books, they are the exact same size and fit beautifully on the shelf together out of slipcase) Breaking things down per book, The Land features 231 pages of illustration, and information on various factions, locations, houses (like Ravenwatch), alliances, etc. It groups alot of the information based of alliance location, the contents lists things in order of History, Aldmeri Dominion, Daggerfall Covenant, Ebonheart Pact, and Creatures. Something like House Ravenwatch would be located in the Daggerfall section, since in game that's where you can find them. There's so many sub categories in this book, alongside high detail it's breathtaking, having the text paired right by the beautiful artwork makes for a great experience, and we'll worth a read. Moving on, The Lore. The Lore is broken up across 228 pages, again listed in the contents as Racial Motifs, Lore, Magicka, Warfare and Factions, Oblivion, and Deadra. The Lore focuses more on the mystical aspect of The Elder Scrolls, passages about the Spellcrafting and the Arcana, to the fundamentals of Alchemy, whereas the Land focuses on the History of the universe. Learning the ruminations and origins of Magic, the Aetherious, and Oblivion, fans of Micheal Kirkbride's writing and appreciation for the mystic and arcane will appreciate this book, as it delves into Deadric Princess, there powers, the Dwemer and how they harnessed the powers of Aetherious, and more. There are some what i would say, misplaced, texts here, like the history of the Fighters Guild, Mace Etiquette, and Heavy Armor Forging, although good reads, they don't fit the over arching theme of the book as a whole, but are still appreciated. Again illustrations litter the book, with fascinating art of Alchemical ingredients and potions, to amazing renditions of magical forces or spells, or the haunting halls of the now ruined Ayleid empire, the artwork is simply stunning and detailed. I'd have to say that these writings are definitely worth the price, and of your reading this while it's on sale I'd say pull the trigger and just get them, it's an great price for an amazing product, and you won't be let down. Things like this make me wish that Microsoft/Zenimax doubled down on the books, and published more like this.

Beautiful and informative
Format: Hardcover
I've been playing this game since it came out and I can't keep all of it straight. I mean there are a lot of lorebooks to go through, but not much structural cohesion on how or even if you encounter them. This collection almost looks like some great librarian gathered all the lore books and curated the collection into an order that makes sense. This isn't a comprehensive overview of the world. Molog Bal is barely mentioned, for example. Certainly no section dedicated to the planemeld and all that. This is closer to an encyclopedia of things you might finish the main quest and still not know, or might easily forget. I know I forgot half the Kajiti pantheon. I mean Jone and Jode, yeah, but some of the others not so much. This is a great addition to the library of any fan. The cover is beautiful. I prefer ebooks generally, and wish this were available on Kindle as well, but I can see the intent on a book that is this much a work of art. Now if only someone would start publishing the Investigator Vale novels.

A perfect collector’s item for any TES fan!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Disclaimer: This is a collector’s item. The content within these books can be accessed in game. If This turns you off, then this product wasn’t made for you. GOOD: The quality of the cover and pages are worthy the premium price tag. The new book smell is top notch! The artwork is so splendid, I found myself starring into them for several minutes, to appreciate the finer details. BAD: None for me. I played TES 4, and TES 5 more than any other game by a few hundred hours. I only recently became addicted to Elder Scrolls Online, and decided to treat my emphatic love of TES’s with these books, and I am quite pleased with my purchase. Some of the lore I had come across in game already, but due to keeping up with other players in my party, I wasn’t able to devote time to reading it, so it was great come back to it. I’ve been reading through these slowly, usually right after playing a couple hours before bed, which makes for a fun way to decompress. I plan on ordering the Skyrim equivalent lore books. Great product!!!

Art and quality!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Now the first thing I want to mention is the art style, i am absolutely in love with it, it's so sleek and beautiful just everything about it, so much loveand care was put into these books and as someone who loves skyrim it's just perfect. The lore is wonderful and the stories are just as amazing, it can be boring for me but that's just due to my adhd. The quality of the pages are strong and thick they wont tear by just fliping a page. the box itself is lovely just slide the booksnright on in and they fit perfectly! So for anyone who loves skyrim this box set is highly recommended
