Wild Strawberry

The Seascape Strawberry is a cold-hardy perennial that produces large, sweet cherry-red berries that are usually ready for harvest from late spring to early fall. This variety is an Everbearing (Day Neutral) strawberry with small white flowers. It is typically more productive than other cold hardy strawberries.
The Seascape Strawberry is a self-pollinating variety, meaning it does not require a second plant nearby to set fruit. This plant produces an above average number of runners that grow quickly into new plants.

Often called the Woodland Strawberry, the Wild Strawberry produces a sweet, edible red berry all throughout the later spring and summer. This compact, stemless plant spreads mostly through the means of runners, and grows quickly.

Flowers and fruit of the Wild Strawberry are usually present simultaneously throughout the summer. This variety is native to North America, which gives it its name.
