Red alpine strawberry known for their abundant harvests and sweet, flavorful berries. Their relatively small size also makes them a good choice for indoor or container growing. Alexandrias do not put out runners.
These delicious gourmet fruits are well behaved in the garden and are remarkably easy to grow.
Alpine
Strawberries are perennial strains of wild or woodland strawberries.
The plants develop gracefully, are very ornamental and ideal edging
plants for garden paths or beds and look good in rockeries. They look
great in pots and hanging gardens too.
Alpine strawberries were once a common medicinal herb used for
diarrhea, inflammation of the liver, treating wounds, for aching throat,
gout to name a few. All parts of the plant were used for different
ailments.
It is said that alpine strawberry flowers add a mild,
strawberry-like flavor if sprinkled on salads or when used as a garnish
for drinks and desserts – I prefer harvesting the fruit though.
