I would change these plants to be able to breed different varietals for either different flower colors or for different types of nectars or cooking recipes . TBH Breeding the flowers listed below are hobbies and industries in their own right. It would have been far cooler to have had these separate from the main cross-breeding gardening elements.
Coffee Beans
Grapes
Lilies
Orchids
Roses
Tulips
NOTE: I find it perfectly acceptable to have the same Coffee Beans and Grape varieties as Sims 3. It would save work and keep it canon.

Breeding plants for different varieties would have been so lovely. Also for chrysanthemums and dahlias. And possibility to grow lilies and orchids and tulips in small table top pots.
I love the idea of adding more harvestables, but most of all I wish the ones we had behaved and looked more like the real deal. Strawberries do not grow on a bush, a lemon tree looks very different from an apple tree and you cannot grow banana trees in temperate climates (outside of greenhouses).
Moreover, I advise that the cart button must be destroyed!

I actually agree 100%. My wish for Sims 5 is that they make SOME things with a bit more realism. Gardening is where they could stand to be more realistic. I don't mean to say we cannot have more fantastical plants like Wolfsbane (which is real), the Death Flower or plants from Sixam, but if we are growing real world plants they should look and behave similar to their real world counterparts. In fact I'd like a subtle learning component to some of the things in the Sims like what the plant really looks like, the kinds of climate it grows best in, how often to water, maybe the scientific name in the description or notes.
I'd like the same treatment for all the non harvestable plants as well. In fact if they had a little taxonomy information in the description for Dogs, Cats, Horses and Birds, I d really love that too. The fun part is that for anything plants or animals alike they can make up their own taxonomy.

Yes, they are a very small, flat plants, these strawberries. I have tried to grow them twice in my life unsuccessfully. I had a couple in a hanging pot out on the front porch. The others were further inland, out in a hydroponic planter box out in the backyard. (We moved.) Might have been okay, if my two dogs hadn't suddenly decided the greenery was something they should use to lay on. Or dig up. I should give it another try, I suppose.
I would love more harvestables . In fact, prior to seasons, I had cc harvestables that included wheat and rice, among other things.
Actually, strawberries are very easy to grow IRL. The best type though is "June Bearing." That just means that they produce one crop a year in June. The berries are much bigger than the "Everbearing" variety (they produce berries all season) which produces smaller berries. If as you say, your dogs like them too, just put a fence around them. I've grown strawberries IRL and also IRL picked them on commercial farms as a teen (OR). They will spread by putting out runners though.

I'm sorry, but that is just too funny! (Says the girl with the cat who loves to dig up everything she plants). I have both wild strawberries and the grown (big) version in my garden and they are quite easy to grow unless a dog lays on them (or digs them up). The wild strawberries spread like the worst kind of weed though.

Honestly I think it could improve the coffee houses and cafes
