Lipstick Strawberry
Fragaria 'Lipstick'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Rosaceae
Plant Description: A low-growing, ornamental strawberry with bright-pink flowers that bloom in early-spring and again in the fall. This selection of the beach strawberry produces small, edible strawberries but are more grown for the attractive flowers and the deep-green foliage. Grows best with moderate amounts of water, but avoid over-watering. It grows well in the shade of trees.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
