Beach Strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis) is a vigorous, low-growing evergreen groundcover native to the Pacific Coast. It spreads by runners to form a dense, weed-smothering mat, making it a favorite for slopes, borders, and naturalistic landscapes. Spring brings small white flowers, followed by edible strawberries that are typically seedy and mild compared with garden strawberries.

Is Beach Strawberry edible?
Yes. The berries are edible, though often smaller and milder than garden strawberries.

Will it spread?
Yes. It spreads by runners and can fill in quickly with regular moisture.

Does it work on slopes?
It’s one of the best groundcovers for slopes, helping hold soil and reduce erosion once established.

Is it drought tolerant?
After establishment, it handles low to moderate water. Occasional deep watering keeps it looking fuller.

Can it grow in shade?
It tolerates partial shade, but flowering and density are best with more sun.

Is it good for coastal conditions?
Yes. It’s well-suited to wind, salt spray, and sandy coastal soils.

How do I keep it from taking over?
Edge it regularly, pull or snip runners where you don’t want it, and avoid overwatering.

Does it stay green year-round?
In mild California climates it is typically evergreen, with best color in cooler seasons.
