Description Fine Print
 
The beach strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis) is a BC native named after the island of Chiloe in Chile. Why you might ask? Because this amazing species can be found along the Pacific coast of both North and South America as well as in the Hawaiian Islands. It has thick, leathery, dark green, usually evergreen leaves, white flowers, and classic red fruits. It is quite drought and salt tolerant but grows into a lush ground cover in garden conditions. F. chiloensis is one of the species that was used to create our modern hybrid strawberry, F. x ananassa.
