I am really pleased with alpine strawberries (sort of ground covery ) for my shade garden, under some plumb trees. The little white flower goes all year in my zone and so do the berries. They are so cute and combine well with so many things. They are great and they were so easy to start from seed. I got them going then left them to practically die several times in there six packs and then planted them and they are now big and beautiful. Yay for alpine strawberries in a shady cottage garden!
yay for alpine strawberries
Sounds so nice - not edible, are they? That would just be too good to be true.
yup they are. its that good. : )
Got pics?
here's one that was in need of being cut back. My three year old took the pic.
A photographer in the making, lol!
he's quite handy. when i want some current pix of what the garden is doing i just send him out there with the camera and i get the funniest stuff. lots of close ups, sometimes fingers but usually some good ones and he likes it. i say "go take some pictures of the garden
What a great idea. Gotta love digitals, huh?
Oh, I agree. I can't imagine being without my alpine strawberries - mine is growing in full sun... I'm glad to hear they do equally good in shade.
The flowers and fruit remind me of fairies. My children don't like them all that much, so I can eat handfuls without feeling guilty. LOL!

Fairy fruit and flower hats exactly! They are part of my little fairy shade garden.
