Fragaria chiloensis

Who says groundcover can't be delicious? Beach Strawberry gives you the best of both worlds - gorgeous, glossy green foliage that spreads to form a living carpet, plus sweet, aromatic berries that taste amazing! The white flowers are charming in spring, followed by small but flavorful red berries that birds and humans both love. Perfect for slopes, under trees, or anywhere you need attractive, edible groundcover. Salt tolerant and thrives in coastal conditions. Beautiful AND productive - now that's smart gardening!
