Live Plants Ship Spring 2026

Looking for a low-growing edible groundcover that’s genuinely worth eating? Woodland/alpine strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is the “tiny fruit, huge flavor” strawberry—pretty white flowers and small red berries with a true wild-strawberry aroma.

What you’ll receive

• Live bareroot plants (our listing: “bareroot 2+ year old plants”) ready for transplanting during the shipping window.
• Plants that spread by stolons/runners over time to fill in, especially when you plant multiple starts.

Why gardeners plant wild strawberries

• Edible groundcover: a living mulch that can edge paths and soften bed borders.
• Ornamental value: trifoliate green leaves + white flowers with yellow centers.
• Flavor tradition: wild strawberries are widely regarded as superior-flavored and used in culinary traditions like patisserie (even though they’re not grown commercially at scale because the berries are small).

Planting and care

☀️ Sun: Full sun to part shade (more sun = better fruiting for most gardeners).
🌱 Soil: Humusy/fertile, medium moisture, well-drained.
🪴 Planting bareroot: Set the crown correctly at soil level and spread roots out (avoid bending/crowding).
🌿 Spread: Expect runners; harvest fruit to reduce self-seeding.

Plant quick facts

☀️ Sun: Full sun → part shade
💧 Water: Medium
❄️ Zones: 3–8 (this listing)
