Wild Strawberry

Fragaria vesca

Wild Strawberry, also called Woodland Strawberry, is a charming and productive groundcover that thrives in shaded, moist environments. Forms a dense mat of bright green, serrated leaves and produces small white flowers from spring to summer. These blooms mature into tiny, sweet, and fragrant edible berries that attract birds, pollinators, and other wildlife - including people!
