Waldsteinia ternata
barren strawberry
Waldsteinia ternata, commonly known as barren strawberry, is the perfect ground cover for any garden looking for a little more life underfoot. With its semi-evergreen foliage, this perennial forms a dense mat of green, lobed leaves that remains attractive throughout the year. Come spring, Waldsteinia ternata rewards you with cheerful yellow flowers that brighten up shaded or partially shaded spots, making it an ideal choice for filling gaps, softening edges, or creating a lush carpet beneath taller plants. Despite its name, this plant is far from barren, offering both visual appeal and functional value in your garden.
Waldsteinia ternata is low-maintenance and thrives in well-drained, humus-rich soil, making it perfect for gardeners looking for a reliable, hardy ground cover. Its spreading habit quickly fills in spaces, making it an excellent choice for areas that need a bit of colour and texture, without the need for constant upkeep. The striking yellow flowers of Waldsteinia ternata are not only a welcome sight in early spring but also attract pollinators, making it a wildlife-friendly option. Whether you're planting under trees, in rock gardens, or as a lovely filler between stepping stones, Waldsteinia ternata brings an effortless touch of charm to any garden.
Our Waldsteinia ternata plants are supplied as a 9cm pot with healthy growth, ensuring a strong start. They are carefully shipped in our unique cardboard box, designed to keep them safe and in top condition. This ensures they arrive healthy and ready to thrive in their new home.

Plant calendar
Check each plant’s specifications. Hardy perennials can remain outdoors, while half-hardy and tender varieties should be kept frost-free until the risk of frost has passed.
Plant within a month, preferably sooner. Choose a suitable position, remove weeds and loosen the soil thoroughly, adding compost or well-rotted organic matter where needed.
Gently remove the plant from its pot and plant with the root ball level with the soil surface. Firm gently, water well and add a plant label.
Water regularly until established and whenever the soil feels dry during spring and summer. Feed container-grown plants fortnightly during active growth to encourage healthy flowering.
