It generally reaches about 15 cm in height. Its white, five-petalled flowers appear in spring, followed by small, fragrant, generally conical red fruits. The small seeds are visible on the surface of the fruit, which notably distinguishes it from wild strawberry, whose seeds are embedded in the flesh. Woodland strawberry grows in a variety of habitats, including forests, woodlands, forest edges, clearings, and rocky outcrops. It tolerates conditions ranging from full sun to shade, but prefers part shade.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedicinal and Culinary Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe fruits are edible. They are sweet, fragrant, and juicy. Fresh or dried leaves can be used to prepare infusions. They are astringent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEcological Roles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe flowers, whose open shape makes pollen and nectar easily accessible, are pollinated by insects. The fruits are eaten by certain birds and mammals. By eating the fruits, these animals may also help disperse the seeds. Thanks to its stolons, woodland strawberry can form colonies close to the ground. This species can help stabilize soil, particularly on steep slopes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0)\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0)\"\u003eWoodland strawberry seeds require \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/akene.ca\/en\/blogs\/publications-in-english\/stratification-froide-des-semences-indigenes\" title=\"Stratification\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ecold stratification\u003c\/a\u003e to ensure germination.
