Delicate, five-petaled white flowers in spring lead to half-inch sweet red fruit in summer.

About Strawberry, Wild

This spreading ground cover is a parent plant to the modern cultivated strawberry (a hybrid of F. virginiana and the South American F. chiloensis), which were called “strawberry” because historically, the plants were mulched with straw to prevent fungal disease. Prefers sandy loam; good for erosion control. Seed from Houston County, Minn.
