Fragaria vesca
woodland strawberry
Woodland strawberry is a low, spreading groundcover that produces white spring flowers followed by small, flavorful red berries. It grows best in part shade and well-drained soils, forming dense mats over time.
The flowers attract early-season pollinators, while the fruits are eaten by birds and small mammals. Its spreading habit helps suppress weeds, making it both ecologically valuable and highly practical in naturalistic plantings.
