FRAGARIA chiloensis. Beach strawberry. This coastal native has long been a popular ground cover, making lush, dark green carpets and thriving in a wide range of climates. It has toothed, three-parted leaves up to 2½" broad, with a lacquered surface, and decorative 1" white flowers, resembling little roses. 'Green Pastures' is a more refined variation on the theme, more profusely branched than other selections, with smaller leaves and larger flowers. Sun or light shade near the coast, light shade inland, in most soils, with moderate watering. Hardy to 10oF. or below.
