Pink Flowered Strawberry Plant

Have you ever heard of such a thing? Pink flowered strawberry plants? Well I certainly had not until an adventure to Home Depot last week. They had the cutest little strawberry plants.. with pink flowers.
Well ofcourse I purchased some!
Not only are they ornamentally appealing, they are everbearing! Which means Fruit all year, because who wants to wait season after season for more strawberries. I certainly don't.
With strawberry plants you want to mound the soil, add alot of compost, and then mulch so that the berries dont touch the soil, its easier for insects to get to them and burrow into the berry when they touch soil.
I add coffee grinds to make the soil a tad bit more acidic because I read strawberry and blueberry plants like it. I also planted lots of flowers to attract honey bees because with strawberries you need something to actually pollinate the flower, wind and water wont do it.

You are going to want to plant these in Full Sun 6+ hours of sunlight a day with good drainage.

Where to buy:
At HomeDepot ofcourse. You can about 6 small ones for about $5 which is a deal to me!

Online you can buy them here:
