Fragaria nipponica

Fragaria nipponica, commonly known as the Japanese strawberry, is a perennial plant native to Japan, Korea, and several Russian regions including the Kuril Islands, Primorye, and Sakhalin. This edible species thrives in moist environments with light to partial sun exposure, growing up to 0.3 meters tall. Its fruit, which can be enjoyed directly or used in various culinary applications, is a distinctive feature of this plant. Adapted to soils ranging from light (sandy) to heavy (clay), Fragaria nipponica adds both ornamental and edible value to gardens and landscapes within its native range.
