Common name indian strawberry; mock strawberry Family rosaceae Life cycle perennial Flowers yellow (spring) Size sprawler Light part shade-sun Kind of handsome, this weed - slightly glossy, creased leaves in patterns of three on sprawling stems, with yellow flowers held above. A few days after the flowers, the "strawberries" appear, bright shiny red. A fast grower as far as I can tell - the first time I noticed it, right in open view of our walkway, it had already attained significant bulk. Not common in our garden.

This is a weed in our garden
