Fragaria

(Rosaceae - rose family)

Strawberry. About 12 species of low, runner-bearing perennial herbs. Most are native to north temperate regions. Cultivated as ornamentals and, especially, for their fruit. Continuously available moisture is required for best fruit production.

Fragaria vesca

edible fruit, ground cover, rock garden, sun
Eurasia

Bears small but good flavored strawberries continuously as long as the weather is suitable. Fruit ripens from late May to October outdoors here, and almost year-round in the greenhouse. Unusual for a strawberry plant, its runners are relatively short and more or less upright, so that unless they are bent to the ground and held down they usually do not touch the ground and start new plants. This makes them easier to manage in small gardens than most types of strawberries.

wild strawberry

native, edible fruit, sun
e and cent N Amer

Bears white flowers in spring, and small sweet fruit in June. On warm, sunny days during fruiting season a patch of wild strawberries emits a strong fragrance of strawberry jam. Cultivated strawberries were developed from a cross involving this species. Spreads quickly; can be used a ground cover (for this purpose it will probably work best in combination with other plants, such as Pennsylvania sedge, Carex pensylvanica).
