Is Waldsteinia ternata poisonous?
The Waldsteinia ternata is a harmless and non-toxic plant that is characterized by its ease of care, decorative flowers and snail resistance. Wild strawberries are a suitable alternative to consumption.
The easy-care Waldsteinia is not really edible, but it is not poisonous either. Incidentally, it is one of the few plants that does not suffer from snail damage.
The three-leaf golden strawberry forms runners and spreads quickly. So you practically don't have to worry about propagating this plant at all. It particularly likes semi-shady places, for example under trees, where hardly any other plants bloom. In spring, their yellow flowers are particularly noticeable in these locations.
The most important things in brief:
- non-toxic
- inedible
- easy care
- decorative flowers
- is avoided by snails
Tip
If you are looking for a shade plant suitable for consumption, then the wild strawberry is the better choice.
