Beach strawberry is a tough, mat-forming groundcover native to the Pacific coast of South America that thrives in partial shade with consistent moisture. Water regularly during the growing season and ensure well-draining soil to prevent root rot. Trim runners periodically to keep the plant tidy and encourage healthy growth.
