I bought this tagged as a Lipstick Strawberry plant, but it also said Fragaria Chiloensis 'Lipstick' on the tag. When I look that up it is not an Alpine Strawberry but a Chilean strawberry, and it doesn't seem to ever have the pink blossoms? I see PlantFiles has just 'Fragaria Lipstick', so maybe the Chiloensis is wrong on my tag? Thanks for any help.

I found Fragaria 'Pink Panda' in Brickell & Zuk, "A - Z Encyclopedia of Garden Plants". It is supposed to rarely bear fruit.

Maybe! I thought Pink Panda was more of a pale pink than mine, and in PlantFiles Pink Panda is written as Fragaria x ananassa, so it all confuses me. I guess I'll wait to see how much it runs, and whether I get any fruit or not.
