Additional Information: Wild Strawberry is a low-growing native plant that spreads by runners, forming a dense, mat-like groundcover that helps stabilize soil and prevent erosion. It thrives in woodland edges, meadows, prairies, and open fields, adapting well to both sunny and partially shaded areas. Its white five-petaled flowers provide an early-season nectar source for bees and other pollinators, while the plant’s foliage turns red in the fall, adding seasonal interest. This species is highly adaptable, low-maintenance, and beneficial for wildlife, making it a valuable addition to native gardens, pollinator-friendly landscapes, and restoration projects.
