Transplanting wild strawberries?

I have some wild strawberries growing in my backyard and I want to move them to a better location. I usually work with bulbous flowers and not fruits and veggies. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Transplanting wild strawberries?
Pretend that they are bulbs.





Seriously, wild strawberries tend to have runners and root clumps. The clumps are 2-4 inches directly below the center of the plant.





Take the same type of trowel you'd use on a bulb to remove the plug of dirt.





Be forewarned though, if they are true wild strawberries, you may have them next year both where you planted and where you removed them.





It's possible they are "feral" (planted strawberries that have grown wild over time.) Feral strawberries tend to have a rhizome-like clump.





And, see post below. FYI.
