Description
Fragaria virginiana / Virginia Strawberry
$10.00
Our native wild strawberry is a tough little plant, found in a wide variety of habitats – dry woods, edges, and meadows. The small fruits are purely delicious, and a joy to pick from garden or trailside. Spreads to form a colonial groundcover in good conditions. The leaf tea is soothing and nutritious, a gentle remedy for diarrhea and stomach upsets.
Larval host for Grizzled Skipper.
