Grows best in an average to moist, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade and is quite adaptable to drought conditions. It is spread by runners, which can be separated from the parent plant to form new plants.
Native to Ontario and most of North America.
Fragaria virginiana is a parent species of most strawberry cultivars grown.
The flowers' nectar and pollen feed many native bees, the fruit provides food for small mammals, and the foliage is a larval host for numerous moths.
