Species: Waldsteinia ternata · Pot: ø9 cm · Height: 10-25 cm

Barren strawberry (Waldsteinia ternata) is a low-growing ground cover with three-lobed, glossy green leaves that look like strawberry leaves. In April and May the plant is full of bright yellow flowers. You receive young plants of 10 to 25 cm in a ø9 cm pot.

With its runners, barren strawberry forms a dense, low mat about 10 to 15 cm tall. That makes it suitable under shrubs, along a path, on a bank or at the front of the border. It grows in sun, partial shade and shade, on almost any soil. Allow about 12 plants per m². The plant is hardy and usually keeps its leaves in winter too. Despite the name, it does not produce edible fruit.

Delivery

Shipping a two-metre plant takes more than a box and some tape. That's why we do it differently from an ordinary online shop.

How your plant arrives in one piece

Fresh from the greenhouse
Your plant does not sit in a warehouse for weeks. The grower only takes it out of the greenhouse after you order and prepares it straight away.
Packed securely
In a box made for plants. Plant and soil are secured and a protective sleeve keeps the leaves intact, so nothing shifts on the way.
Protected from heat and frost
Is it very hot or freezing outside? Then we add a cold pack or heat pack to the box, so the weather doesn't affect your plant on the way.
The right carrier for every size
Smaller plants are delivered by PostNL or DHL. The very largest plants travel upright on a pallet with a specialist carrier.
You know exactly when it arrives
As soon as your plant is on its way, you receive track & trace by email, so you can make sure someone is home and, for a large plant, someone to help carry it in.

When will your plant arrive?

4–5working days after you order

★★★★Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd

Het mag wel wat plant vriendelijker worden bezorgd. De plant kwam een beetje beschadigd aan. Door dat de bladeren op een onjuiste manier in de doos waren gestopt. Verder is het een mooie plant.

★★★★★Goede service en een mooie plant

Ik ben blij verrast! Een mooie uitziende plant en goed verpakt ontvangen. Bij de mededeling vroeg ik of zij wilde kijken naar een rechtopstaande plant en als het kan iets groter dan aangegeven maat. Daar heeft de kweker ook goed...
