Fragaria vesca typically grows low to the ground, forming dense mats of foliage.
Its leaves are trifoliate, meaning they consist of three leaflets, and are typically dark green with toothed edges.
The plant produces small white flowers with five petals and a yellow center, which eventually give way to small, round, flavorful strawberries.
These fruits are smaller than those of commercial varieties but are known for their intense sweetness and lower acid levels.
In domestic gardens, Fragaria vesca is often used as ground cover or as edging along paths and borders.
Its compact growth habit and attractive foliage make it a desirable addition to rock gardens, woodland gardens, and even containers.
Once you have tried these deliciously intense and sweet fruits you will be hooked!
There are various varieties that produce bright red, pink, white and yellow fruit.
The many different varieties include Alexandria, Mignonette, Yellow Cream, Ali Baba, Yellow Fruiting and Yellow Pineapple.
