Where it shines in PNW gardens
Coastal Strawberry is a reliable perennial for Pacific Northwest gardens, especially in brighter beds where summer growth really takes off. Expect blooms in Spring, with extra value for bees. In the PNW, the big win is sun + drainage—avoid soggy winter soil if you can.
