happy, there is a difference in the leaf shape and color of the Waldensteinia (yellower green and more fan shaped) and the aggressive wild strawberry. The wild strawberry runs underground and the Barren strawberry is a clumper.
I have the W. fragarioides planted with wood phlox P. divaracata and Sedum ternatum all natives for me.
The Sedum ternatum is a very good spreader also and very different in appearance so you might choose that also but I don't know if the wild strawberry will out compete both if it's not removed.
