10 Seeds Mock Strawberry Potentilla indica Ground Cover

Mock Strawberry (Potentilla indica) is a low-growing, mat-forming perennial often used as a ground cover in lawns, borders, and woodland gardens. It produces small, strawberry-like red fruits and bright yellow flowers that add seasonal interest to the landscape.
This versatile plant tolerates a range of conditions and spreads readily to fill bare spots, making it useful for erosion-prone areas and naturalized settings. The small red fruits are edible but bland, and the foliage remains semi-evergreen in mild climates.
