Description

Fragaria ananassa, commonly known as the garden strawberry, is a widely cultivated fruit-bearing plant known for its sweet, juicy berries. It is a herbaceous perennial that grows low to the ground, producing trifoliate green leaves and white to pale pink flowers in spring and early summer. Strawberries are not only prized for their delicious fruit but also make attractive additions to edible landscapes and container gardens. They spread via runners, making them ideal for ground cover. With proper care, they produce fruit for several years, making them a favorite in gardens and small-scale farming across Cyprus.
