Why choose native plants? Pacific Northwest native plants know how to live here and how to thrive here. They often need much less water and less fertilizer. They spread slowly and are not invasive. They support a wide diversity of wildlife. And best of all, they look great!
Found along the Pacific Coast from Alaska to California and the beaches and inland areas of coastal Chile. One of the two strawberry species used to create the modern garden strawberry. Highly recommended as a groundcover on the coast and in shady inland areas. Grows to 6” tall with an 8’ spread. In spring to early summer it blooms with beautiful white flowers, which are later replaced by unique red fruits. Dark-green, glossy leaves turn red in fall. Local bees and butterflies pollinate flowers and its fruits draw the attention of a variety of insects, birds and mammals. Photo courtesy of Xera Plants.
