Description
A low growing semi-evergreen perennial plant, clump forming with a few suckers. Most folk know the wild strawberry and its small but very tasty fruits. Strawberries make a good component of a ground cover layer beneath or around other plants.
The fruits and leaves are used medicinally, and bees love the flowers.
'Elkes' is a very rare f.vesca variety from Germany which bears larger fruits than 'Improved Rügen' and its suckers immediately bear fruit.
