Highly regarded for its intense flavour, this cultivar combines the fragrance of wild strawberries with the larger fruit size of cultivated types. Plants form low, spreading rosettes of coarse-toothed, three-lobed leaves and send out runners that root easily.

White flowers appear continuously from late spring into early autumn, followed by medium-sized, conical berries. Fruit ripens to a deep red and has a rich, aromatic taste, ideal for eating fresh, adding to desserts or preserving. Strawberry ‘Mara des Bois’ performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil. It’s a reliable, culinary choice for pots, containers, or raised beds.
