You should plant the tiny wild strawberries that are super sweet but very small. They are also called native strawberries or groundcover strawberries. Also called Alpine Strawberries or Fragaria vesca. In some parts of the country you can also find the shade tolerant Musk Strawberries from Italy. Look for the name 'Capron' as a variety from the Musk family. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
