{"product_id":"wild-strawberry-fragaria-virginiana","title":"Wild Strawberry (Fragaria virginiana)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWild strawberry is a low-growing perennial featuring trifoliate leaves, white flowers that attract native bees in the spring, and tasty red fruits in the summer. It is one of three species of wild strawberry native to coastal BC, and prefers more sun than the woodland strawberry. It spreads vigorously through runners, creating an attractive groundcover that suppresses weeds and stabilizes soils. It is easy to grow and can handle a variety of conditions, preferring full sun and moist, well-drained soil. It produces strawberries that are much smaller than storebought strawberries, but are much more flavourful! To increase berry production, it is recommended to grow at least two genetically different plants for cross-pollination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSun Exposure:\u003c\/b\u003e Full sun to part shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Moisture:\u003c\/b\u003e Moist to dry, well-drained soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\"-10\" tall, spreads by runners\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Time:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdible:\u003c\/b\u003e Yes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/b\u003e Attracts beneficial insects and pollinators such as bees and butterflies.
