Strawberry, botanically known as Fragaria, is a low-growing herbaceous, hybrid perennial of cultivated origin. It is grown in home vegetable gardens around the world for its magnificent tasting fruit. Plants will spread over time by over-ground runners that root forming new plants increasing its yield and harvest annually. Plants are five-petaled, producing flowers first which give way to fruit. With the high cost of fruits and vegetables in the grocery store, why not simply grow your own in your own back yard. You'll have much fresher cleaner food to eat, improving your health while saving money on groceries.
