Beach Strawberry

Fragaria chiloensis

Beach Strawberry is a versatile and low-maintenance groundcover that thrives in sandy, well-drained soils. Its glossy, evergreen leaves form a dense mat, providing excellent erosion control and weed suppression in coastal gardens and sandy slopes. In spring, it produces charming white flowers that later develop into small but deliciously sweet red berries. Excellent for naturalizing in rock gardens, borders, and coastal settings where its adaptability to salt spray and drought can shine. Its fruits attract birds and small mammals, while bees and butterflies flock to its blooms.

  • Prefers sandy, well-drained soils but is tolerant of various soil types.
  • Divide runners every few years to propagate or maintain the plant's density.
