Wild Strawberry (Fragaria vesca) - Wildlife-Friendly Native (Peat-Free Super Plugs & 9cm Pots)

Wild Strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is one of Britain’s most beloved native plants - an ancient wild edible that has been cherished for centuries. Its fresh green leaves form low mats of groundcover, dotted with cheerful white flowers from April through June. By early summer, these flowers give way to jewel-like red fruits, small but bursting with flavour.

This species isn’t just for people. Its flowers are a valuable early nectar source for bees, hoverflies, and beetles, while the fruits provide food for birds, hedgehogs, and small mammals. Its foliage offers shelter for invertebrates, making it a quiet but powerful contributor to your garden’s ecosystem.

Wild Strawberry is highly adaptable, thriving in sunny borders, meadows, woodland edges, and even containers. Its spreading habit means it will gradually form attractive carpets that are as useful as they are beautiful - providing groundcover that suppresses weeds while creating seasonal interest.

🪴 Grown in peat-free super plugs and 9cm pots, our plants arrive robust and ready to thrive. Once established, Wild Strawberry will reliably return year after year, rewarding both you and your local wildlife with its flowers and fruit.

Joel says...
“Wild Strawberry is one of those plants that makes me smile every time. The flowers are great for pollinators, the fruits are a real treat, and it’s so easy to grow. It’s a brilliant little groundcover that will naturalise beautifully. And of course, these are peat-free, healthy plants, ready to get going.”
