Can I revive this oxalis?

And if so, how please?!

When I got it the leaves were a lovely deep purple but they're faded now. It got a bit waterlogged for a few days (was in a bucket and I didn't realise how much rain had got into it).

Repotted it but it hasn't really perked up any. Not sure what to do now?

Mine come up year after year. I didn’t know what they were when we first moved in and attempted to rip them out. They still came back up!
Do they have any shade at all? Although they like it bright they shouldn’t be in direct sun.

Thanks @ChChChangeIsAfoot

The pot is currently on the patio which has sun most of the day so I'll try moving it to a shadier spot and keep my fingers crossed!

I'd cut back all but the most perky leaves and see what happens. I've done that a few time with mine and they always recover.

They are indoor plants in the winter though, assuming you're in the UK.

Yes they'll come back.
