Strawberry Assorted Quart

Fragaria spp.

For 2023, 'Alexandria' is a petite, everbearing, alpine strawberry variety packed with gourmet, super sweet, wild berry flavor with a hint of raspberry tartness. Its small, fragrant, edible flowers and bright red, bite-size fruit are continuously being produced over compact, bright green foliage. This disease resistant, perennial variety produces very few runners (stolons) and is perfect for growing in sunny containers, as a landscape edger, or in the raised garden or rock garden. Plant in a moist but well-drained, slightly acidic, nutrient rich soil amended with organic matter like compost and planting mix. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting; reapply midsummer. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. Plant with lettuce, spinach, and marigolds; avoid tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, potatoes, and the cabbage (Brassica) family. Cut back plants after fruiting. Divide crowns in early spring.
