Fragaria vesca ‘Alexandria’ (Alexandria Alpine Strawberry)

‘Alexandria’ is a classic alpine strawberry prized for its bright red, intensely aromatic berries and refined, old-world flavor. The small fruit is exceptionally sweet and fragrant, making it ideal for fresh eating, desserts, and garnishes.

This runnerless variety forms neat, compact clumps and fruits primarily in spring and again in fall when temperatures are moderate. Production slows during periods of intense summer heat but resumes as conditions cool.

Perfect for containers, borders, woodland gardens, and edible landscapes, ‘Alexandria’ offers beauty and gourmet flavor in a small space.
