Homonym: Fragaria × ananassa (Strawberry)
Fragaria × ananassa, commonly known as the garden strawberry, is a hybrid species of flowering plant in the rose family. It is cultivated for its sweet, red fruit, which is popular worldwide. The plant typically grows to about 12 to 24 inches in height and produces white flowers that attract pollinators.
This species is a result of crossing two wild strawberry species, Fragaria virginiana and Fragaria chiloensis. Garden strawberries thrive in temperate climates and are often grown in home gardens and commercial farms. They require well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight to produce high yields of fruit.
