    Hi, probably a silly question but I have some of those strawberries with the bright pink flowers. Do they produce fruit the same as normal strawberries? Do I just treat them the same?

    Mine do, they're 'Viva Rosa'. Treat them exactly the same as any other strawberry plants.

      There are a number of pink cultivars I think the most common I've heard of is 'Pink Panda' but yes essentially the same although they might not be as tasty as a plant which was bred specifically for tasty fruit.
