Description
Barren Strawberry is an ideal ground cover for Massachusetts gardeners looking to brighten shaded or dappled areas. Its dense, dark green, strawberry-like foliage creates a soft, carpeted effect that mimics a natural forest floor. In early to late spring, cheerful yellow daisy-like flowers emerge above the foliage, offering a charming pop of color that looks best when planted in groups.
This hardy perennial has a spreading, low-growing habit and thrives in part shade with moist, well-drained soil. Barren Strawberry is deer-resistant and adds fine texture to borders, paths, or woodland gardens throughout the season. While it does require regular upkeep, its unique look and shade tolerance make Barren Strawberry a rewarding choice for naturalistic landscapes in Massachusetts.
