Wild strawberry has a low profile of about 5 inches and spreads by runners, making it useful as a groundcover as well as a provider of edible fruit.
This plant is easily grown in fertile, moist to dry, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade, preferring organically rich, sandy loam. After setting fruit, the plants may slow down or go dormant in hot summer months. Plants flower in spring, followed by the fruit. Plants spread indefinitely by runners that root as they sprawl along the ground and will form large colonies over time.
