Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Fragaria 'Lipstick' is a strawberry but this groundcover/edger is mostly grown for its constant strawberry pink flowers. Perfect in a container or beside the patio. Tolerates more shade than your average strawberry! Will rarely produce fruit unless you plant 'Pink Panda' (or another different cultivar) nearby then you will get lots of small, incredibly sweet, wild-type strawberries.

This bright and charming groundcover produces its showy hot-pink flowers with golden centers from late-spring all the way into autumn! Summer brings a sprinkling of small edible berries. This delightful spreader creates a dense mat of pretty tri-foliate strawberry leaves reaching 8 inches tall and 1 to 2 feet wide. Perfect for stabilizing embankments and picture-perfect for decorating window boxes or hanging baskets. Lipstick is a lovely groundcover for underneath flowering cherries and other ornamental trees and shrubs. S/M

Bright green glossy leaves on this low-growing variety that would be good as a ground cover. Rosy red flowers bloom in spring and infrequently throughout the rest of the season. Very few fruit are produced.
