{"product_id":"woodland-strawberry-fragaria-vesca","title":"Woodland Strawberry (Fragaria vesca)","description":"\u003cp\u003eWoodland strawberry is one of three species of wild strawberry native to coastal BC, and is more shade tolerant than the other two. It spreads vigorously through runners, creating an attractive groundcover of deeply veined, trifoliate leaves and small white flowers, that suppresses weeds and stabilizes soils. It is easy to grow and can handle a variety of conditions, but prefers moist, humus-rich soil and part shade. It produces tiny red or white 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 Part shade to shade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSoil \u0026amp; Moisture:\u003c\/b\u003e Moist, well-drained, humus-rich soil\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/b\u003e 4\"-12\", spreads by runners\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBloom Time:\u003c\/b\u003e Spring to early summer\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.
