Product information
Alpine Strawberry Red
Botanical Name: Fragaria vesca
Exposure: Sun to Partial Shade
Bloom Time and Color: White or near white blooms in late summer to early autumn.
Description: Alpine strawberry is a low-growing, compact perennial about 25cm high with a spread of 20cm. Flowers are round-petaled in flat clusters on a separate stalk from the leaves. The fruit is a small, red in color, cone-shaped berry studded with tiny, brown seeds. They have a fragrance and taste more delicate than the larger cultivated berries. Alpine strawberries grow quickly and are ever-bearing. Once the fruit appears, the plant will continue to bear all season.
These seeds can be lightly sown onto a seed tray filled with potting compost. Cover the seeds with a thin layer of compost - no more than 1/4 inch - and gently water in.
Transfer the seed tray to a cold, greenhouse or even a well lit room as both are suitable for germination which should take anywhere between 2 and 8 weeks. Once the strawberry plants have germinated, wait for the 3rd true leaves to appear and then transplant into bigger containers or if weather permits, the plants can be planted directly outside in to their final position. For best results choose a well drained, moist and slightly alkaline soil.
