Geum fragarioides

When to plant barren strawberry

Barren strawberry is a low, creeping native groundcover with glossy evergreen strawberry-like foliage and small yellow flowers in spring (NC State: March to May); it sets no edible fruit. Plant or divide in spring or fall in moist, well-drained, acidic woodland soil.

Barren Strawberry is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
