Strawberry Vine
Strawberry Vine is a groundcover I noticed at Select Seeds in Union. The foliage was thick and textured and the underside of the leaf felt like sandpaper with a small thorn at the base of the leaf petiole. I love how the leaves contrast with the color of the granite stone!
Does anyone know the scientific (botanical) name for this plant?
5/9/09 Note: I finally discovered this species in my new groundcover book entitled "Covering Ground" by Barbara W. Ellis. The species is Rubus pentalobus or R. rolfei 'Emerald Carpet'. Common names include Creeping Raspberry and Creeping Bramble along with Strawberry Vine mentioned by the horticulturist at the Select Seeds greenhouse. It can easily cover a 5 foot wide area and grows 3-4" tall. It has a small insignificant white flower in summer that is followed by red fruit (no information if it is edible). Zones 6-8

On the right hand side and in the background some Acer pseudoplatanus, already beginning to change to autumn colours, and the red leaves mixed in everywhere are those of Parthenocissus inserta.
Further, there's Clematis vitalba in abundance, with leaves still green but with their pretty fruit sticking out. Rubus caesius also is present there in considerable numbers, its leaves however do not stick out here at all.
