Highly novel, easy to grow plant, ideal for the border or patio containers. Base branching with spiky foliage and stems which bear many edible, bright-red strawberry-like fruits through to early autumn.
Sow from February to April indoors at 21-24C (70-75F) in good seed compost. Just cover the seed with compost and keep the soil damp but not wet. Germination usually takes 5-14 days.
They can also be sown outdoors where they are to flower during May once the soil has warmed. Keep moist until after germination and thin out to 30cm (12in) apart.
