Oxalis ID? With pic

Any idea what I've got here? Hoping it's a hardy one. I can't imagine it's a rarity but don't see it in my book.
It's a clumper rather than rhyzomitous spreader. Thanks!

Oxalis crassipes 'Rosea' maybe? Hardy to z5...

Hope it's not as invasive as the ones in the woods here..OMG! I spend a good part of late spring days searching the shade garden for them and spraying with a shot of Round up--and I'm an organic gardener otherwise!

At least in Arkansas/Oklahoma, I've never noticed this being invasive.

I've never noticed it seed, and it slowly bulks.

Thanks very much, yes looks like crassipes 'rosea'.

This one can be split but definitely doesn't spread like a few of them do. Sounds like this cultivar doesn't even set seed.
