Marge:
I have wild strawberries all over my yard, which I spend a lot of time
pulling out. Is this sufficiently distinctive that it would be easy to
discern which is which? Because if not, I'd surely pull it out by mistake.
But I'm looking for edging plants this year. . . .

Well, Tracy, I pull up the babies if they go where I don't want them
to...it is a good spreader and a great groundcover, but pretty vigorous for
the border. I don't consider it badly behaved as it behaves just like a
groundcover ought to...it covers ground:-) But, I'd think twice before I
put it in a definite "border" or "bed" with smaller plants. With larger
plants or in a shrub border, it would make a nice underplanting.....just my
2 cents US:-)
