Does anyone have a red/purple shamrock plant that is producing corms and would like to share? We have a small red/purple that is alive but not producing corms. We have lots of the corms for the common green shamrock if you'd like to trade. If you have any of the other colors, we'd love to do a trade as well. Thanks!!

I have a shamrock that I inherited from my mother -- it produces corms -- and the underside of the leaves are purple.

My mom called it a "Sleeping Beauty" because the leaves "close" at night. It produces beautiful white flowers sporadically.

Is this what you're looking for?
