{"product_id":"fragaria-lipstick","title":"Lipstick Ornamental Strawberry","description":"\u003cp\u003eFragaria 'Lipstick' (Fragaria 'Lipstick') is a captivating ornamental strawberry of genuine distinction — a hybrid selection that elevates the familiar strawberry genus to a new level of ornamental beauty with its richly saturated, vivid rose-pink to near-red flowers that bloom with striking prolificacy above a lush, trailing mound of deep, glossy, dark green, three-lobed leaves. Where most ornamental strawberries offer soft, pale pink or white blooms, 'Lipstick' delivers its namesake vivid, bold, richly pigmented rose-pink color that reads with real flower-garden presence from a distance — a jewel-toned floral display of genuine ornamental impact that is entirely unlike the understated charm of standard strawberry blooms. The attractive five-petaled flowers are followed by small, red ornamental fruits that add a secondary seasonal accent and provide a modest additional food source for birds and garden visitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis professional-grade 4\" plant arrives with a healthy, well-established root system cultivated through professional horticultural practices — ready to establish and spread into its characteristic trailing, freely stoloniferous habit.
