Re: Alpine strawberry

Me. Want some seeds? Grandchildren aren't eating them this year, so I have lots of little dried berries hanging around. The individual plants die after 4 or 5 years, but they seed around happily, especially if you eat a few & spit out the seeds. Those seem to germinate better than the one I seed deliberately.

Subject: [CHAT] Alpine strawberry
Anyone growing alpine, or wild, strawberries [Frageria vesca]? Reportedly they tolerate shade and so make a nice groundcover under landscape plantings.
