Fragaria virginiana — Virginia Native Strawberry
A native wild strawberry, this perennial spreads by runners to form a soft, fragrant ground‑cover that produces small, highly flavored strawberries. Flowers appear in spring and are followed by sweet, aromatic fruit in late spring to early summer. Plants spread via runners and make an excellent ground‑cover — ideal for borders, woodland‑edge plantings, or anywhere a low, edible ground‑cover is desired. Space individual plants about 1 ft apart circles. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8.
