Design with this plant

Overview

Fragaria 'fraise des bois', commonly known as Woodland Strawberries, are charming, low-growing perennials. Bearing white blooms in spring, they yield small, aromatic strawberries (approx. 0.5-1 inch diameter) beloved for their intense flavor. Thriving in zones 5-9, they prefer well-drained soil and part shade to full sun. Reaching 6 inches tall with a 12-inch spread, they're excellent for ground cover or edging, attracting pollinators while offering delightful fruits.
