- Product number: 830218.1

A unique, low-growing strawberry variety originally from the coastal regions of North and South America. The plant forms a beautiful, dense carpet of glossy green leaves and spreads via runners. This makes it suitable not only for edible gardens but also as a ground cover.
White flowers appear in spring, followed by edible strawberries. Depending on the botanical form, the fruits can be red or whitish to pink. The Chilean white form is known for its distinctive, light-colored fruits and is one of the wild species that played an important role in the development of the modern strawberry.
