Grow aromatic and delicious alpine strawberries with Strawberry Alexandria! This heirloom variety produces day-neutral, perennial strawberries that are about twice the size of wild berries. Compact and low-maintenance, Alexandria Strawberries are perfect for rock gardens, path edgings, pots, and window boxes, making them an excellent choice for small spaces or decorative planting.

Growing tip: Put seeds in a container with a piece of fine sandpaper and shake. This will increase germination rate and decrease the time needed for germination.

SPECIAL NOTE: Strawberries are hard to germinate, and we recommend that only seasoned veterans try them.  They can take up to 4 to 6 weeks to germinate in a lab under ideal conditions. We recommend that they be started in 4 x 4 black pots using a germination mix. They need to be kept between 65 and 75 degrees. Here in Texas, these guys have lived through six-degree weather and can handle temps as high as 90, even higher when covered with 30 shade cloth. Plant them in an area where they can keep growing.
