Its cold-hardiness comes from the bulb's adaptation to freezing during dormancy.

Oxalis adenophylla, commonly known as Chilean Oxalis or Silver Shamrock (among other common names), is an Argentinian and Chilean alpine plant. It does well in far-north locations such as Sweden, Norway, & Nova Scotia (Canada), as well as in purely temperate regions. Its cold-hardiness comes from the bulb's adaptation to freezing during dormancy. It is, however, susceptible to rot in the winter in temperate zones, a problem not present where ground freezes in winter. It is tolerant of some shade, but will bloom most with southern full sunlight[1].
Outside of its native location, it is often used for rock gardens. It can also do well as a houseplant.
