Fragaria 'Lipstick'

Common Name: Ornamental Strawberry

This charming rose-red selection originated from the Netherlands. It has much showier, darker rose-colored flowers than the well-known 'Pink Panda'. Like typical strawberry plants, the foliage is an attractive bright green.

Fragaria hybrids are a cross between a strawberry of unknown origin and marsh cinquefoil (Potentilla palustris). The resulting plants have the best features from both plants: a long bloom time beginning in midspring, fast-spreading groundcover capabilities, and even small, edible strawberries! Its trailing habit also makes this a nice accent plant in hanging baskets or windowboxes.
