Wild strawberry is a charming, low-growing perennial that produces small, intensely flavored berries far sweeter and more aromatic than many supermarket strawberries. Its neat green foliage, white flowers, and spreading habit make it a lovely choice for edible borders, woodland gardens, and containers. Easy to tuck into small spaces, it rewards gardeners with both beauty and delicious fruit.

Beach strawberry is a low-growing, spreading perennial strawberry prized for its attractive white flowers, glossy green leaves, and small red edible fruits. It makes an excellent groundcover for sunny to lightly shaded gardens, especially in coastal or sandy sites. For home gardeners, it offers both ornamental appeal and a sweet, wild-style harvest.
