How to Grow and Care for Great yellow woodsorrel

Great yellow woodsorrel is recognized by its heart-shaped clover-like leaves and delicate yellow flowers that bloom in spring, adding a splash of color to woodlands. These leaves often fold at night, a phenomenon called nyctinasty, which may protect against cold or predation. Thriving in moist, shaded areas, great yellow woodsorrel spreads easily, forming a lush, ground-hugging carpet that adapts to its environment through its resilient rhizomatous root system.
