Woodland strawberry is a perennial, herbaceous member of the rose family. It grows low to the ground and spreads by stolons, creating a bushy groundcover. The plant features bright green, trifoliate leaves with coarsely toothed edges. In late spring and summer, it produces small white flowers with yellow stamens, which are followed by bright red, edible strawberries.

Native to Ontario.

Grows best in an average to moist, well-drained soil, partial shade or shade and is quite adaptable to drought conditions. This plant spreads by runners, which can be separated from the parent plant, to form new plants.
