Duchesnea indica (Indian Mock Strawberry)

10cm, Indian Mock Strawberry is a winter hardy perennial evergreen ground covering plant native of woods in southeast Asia and the Indies. In appearance it is similar to the woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca) with shiny trifoliate leaves and upright hold, bright red, edible fruits. However these are more decorative than tasty, as the sweet flesh doesn't have any significant flavor. Easily cultivated in any humus rich soil in a partially shaded to sunny spot. IV-VI.
