Strawberries are low-growing perennial fruit plants prized for their sweet, juicy berries and early summer harvests. Widely grown in home gardens, containers, and commercial fields, strawberry plants produce attractive white flowers followed by bright red fruit with a rich aroma and sweet-tart flavor. Blooms best with full sun and fertile well-drained soil.
