Pink Panda Ornamental Strawberry is a compact spreading herbaceous perennial primarily grown for its ornamental value, rather then its fruit. The coarse-toothed dark green foliage is coated in small numerous rose pink flowers with yellow centers from late spring into summer and intermittently into fall. Occasionally small edible berries will follow the flowers, and if picked will prompt another bloom. Blooms best with full sun and fertile well-drained soil.
