Beach Strawberry or Sand Strawberry, Fragaria chiloensis
is a spreading perennial, with white flowers, emerging from March to August,
followed by edible red fruits. Beach Strawberry is a good ground cover for sun, garden
water, in coastal areas and part shade inland. Native to coastal bluffs and sand dunes in
California. Cold tolerant to at least 5 deg.F.
With regular water and part shade this strawberry will make a wonderful lawn replacement, as the clone we sell is so far fruitless, after 30 years. If you want fruit, try Fragaria vesca.
