Scarlet Strawberry, Wild Strawberry
Fragaria virginiana (Scarlet Strawberry) is a low-growing, spreading perennial forming rosettes of tri-foliate, coarsely-toothed, bright green leaves. It bears a profusion of small, 5-petaled white flowers adorned with yellow centers for 3-4 weeks in late spring to early summer. They are followed by a crop of tiny, bright red berries, 0.5 in. (1 cm), rich with a sweet-tart flavor. Small seeds are scattered across the surface of these fruits in sunken pits. Scarlet Strawberry is a cool-season plant that grows actively during spring and fall but often becomes dormant after setting fruit during the hot summer months. This plant is easy to cultivate, and it will spread to form a loose ground cover in open areas. The foliage is more resistant to foliar disease than most cultivated strawberries.
