Nursery contributed plant descriptions

The perfect groundcover for dry shade, this native runner makes a fast an easy evergreen mat of charming strawberry leaves in short order. Anni J says that she has never seen a fruit set on her plants at home, but if it by chance did get a chance to set fruit despite being underfoot, the fruit would be edible (& tasty). Best of all, it’s a Bay Area (LOCAL) native! Ethical & Edible & Useful=SUPER FABULOUS. 4” tall, & as wide as you let it run. Will tolerate full sun if provided with regular water.
