Coastal Strawberry

Overview

Coastal Strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis) is a low-growing perennial reaching 6-12 inches tall, spreading up to 2 feet wide. Prized for its glossy foliage and white blooms, it yields edible red berries. Thriving in USDA zones 4-9, it requires full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. Ideal for ground cover, it's drought-tolerant once established. This seaside native attracts pollinators while resisting deer, adding ecosystem value to coastal-inspired designs.
