Wild Strawberries are the best! This native Ontario strawberry will not produce lots of fruit, but it has a beautiful white flower and blooms in spring when other pollen/nectar sources are still developing. It is a great ground cover for lawns, and will act as a "green mulch" in the garden to suppress weeds. This is fast spreading plant, and can tolerate light foot traffic suitable for natural lawns. Half of the foliage will turn a red color in fall, creating even more beauty!
