Its bright reddish-orange berries ripen throughout the summer and have a sweet, juicy flavor. It is an easy-to-grow plant with shallow roots, making it ideal for growing in rock crevices or in well-drained soil. Its series of delicate white flowers are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. Coastal strawberry is a low-maintenance plant that requires little water and thrives in areas with full to partial sun. It makes an attractive edible ground cover and small hedges, bringing lots of color and life to the garden.
