Wild Strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) Starter Live Plant - Native Ground Cover
About This Plant
Wild Strawberry (Fragaria virginiana) is a native North American perennial valued for fragrant white spring flowers, sweet edible red berries, and an excellent ground-covering habit. This greenhouse-grown starter live plant is well-suited for pollinator gardens, native landscapes, woodland edges, edible gardens, cottage gardens, borders, and naturalized areas. It produces fragrant blooms in spring followed by berries in late spring to early summer.
Thrives in full sun to partial shade on moist, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Spreads by runners to form a dense living ground cover that helps reduce erosion and suppress weeds. Flowers attract native bees and other pollinators; berries feed birds, small mammals, and gardeners.
