Green strawberry is a low-growing perennial ground cover that thrives in partial shade with consistently moist, well-drained soil. Plant it in a spot that receives morning sun and afternoon shade, and mulch around the base to retain moisture. It spreads via runners and makes a charming addition to woodland or cottage garden edges.
