Fragaria vesca (Wild Strawberries)

Fragaria vesca (Wild Strawberries) (Fragaria vesca (Wild Strawberries))

My favourite fruit of all time. It makes my mouth water just thinking about them. The fresh chopped leaves make a wonderful light tea. The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils, but they should be well-drained, kept moist but not soden. The plant lives in most soils acid, neutral and basic (alkaline). It wil grow in semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade.
