Fragaria virginiana-Wild strawberry

Description

Tiny intensely sweet and flavorful berries come out in early summer. Once you eat a few precious hand-fulls you won’t want to eat the store bought strawberries anymore.
Grows in open sunny fields in dry to more moisture retentive soils. Makes a great ground cover and spreads out by self rooting runners. Nickel sized bright white flowers come out in early spring when few other plants are flowering. Fragaria virginiana was cross bred with other species of strawberries to develop the commercially grown varieties; its genetic contribution of hardiness and that unmistakable flavor can be tasted in many varieties.
