Grows best in compost rich, well draining soil. Propagates through runners and seeds.
Thrives under partial shade or full shade. Strong sun exposure can scald leaves.
The berries are pinky fingernail size and taste quite bland. You will need to plant a dozen or so crowns to get a decent harvest.
Needs regular pruning of dead leaves, runners and spent fruit stalks to encourage flowering.
You can eat the berries fresh or add them to yogurt or icecream for a bit of colour.
