Waldsteinia

Waldsteinia - Barren Strawberry

Waldsteinia belongs to a genus of semi ever green ground covers. They are strong plants well suited to cover large, difficult areas. Waldsteinia prefers a place in half shade in normal soil, but less favourable locations are also tolerated, such as under shrubs and trees. You can, if you so wish, cut away the old leaves early in spring to give the plant a whole fresh look. Once established and grown out, Waldsteinia forms a dense, low maintenance ground cover which also suppresses weeds well. Nice partner plants for Waldsteinia are Geranium macrorrhizum, Brunnera and Convallaria.
