Fragaria General Information

Fragaria are excellent flowering groundcovers for rock gardens, edgers and pathways. Tolerates light foot traffic. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Fragaria Plant Care

Ornamental strawberries adapt well in full sun to almost full shade. Needs good drainage. Foliage is evergreen, but harsh winters may require removal of damaged tired-looking foliage in spring. Divide in Spring or Fall.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
