Strawberry | Fragaria vesca Alexandra 9cm Pot

Fragaria vesca 'Alexandra' is a compact, everbearing alpine strawberry, prized for its sweet, aromatic fruits and charming ornamental appeal. Unlike traditional strawberries, this variety produces delicate, deep red berries continuously from late spring through to autumn, offering a steady supply of delicious, bite-sized treats. The lush, dark green foliage forms a tidy, clump-forming habit, complemented by dainty white flowers that attract bees and other pollinators.

This low-maintenance, drought-tolerant perennial is perfect for borders, rock gardens, containers, and even edging pathways. As a runnerless variety, it won’t spread aggressively, making it an ideal choice for small spaces or decorative planting.
