Fruit Strawberry Alexandria is a distinguished alpine strawberry heirloom prized for intense flavor, aromatic complexity, and day-neutral fruiting. This perennial produces small berries with concentrated sweetness and a rich taste that is very different from typical store-bought strawberries. The compact, runnerless plants work well in rock gardens, borders, containers, and window boxes, making them a practical edible accent for small spaces.

Grow these 200 Non-GMO, heirloom, open-pollinated seeds, plus the existing bonus seeds per pack, for a productive plant that is both ornamental and useful. Harvest fragrant berries for fresh eating, desserts, preserves, and garden-to-table treats.

Germination Rate: 63%. Test Date: 02/26. JSS.

Growing Tip: Place seeds in a container with a piece of fine sandpaper and shake gently before sowing. This scarification step may improve germination and reduce the time needed for sprouting.

Special Note: Strawberries can be difficult and slow to germinate. Start them in a 4×4 black pot with a quality germination mix and maintain temperatures around 65–75°F. Germination may take 4–6 weeks under favorable conditions.

Why Choose Strawberry Alexandria?

• Exceptional Flavor: Enjoy concentrated alpine sweetness and aromatic complexity that can surpass ordinary grocery-store berries.
• Day-Neutral and Perennial: Grow a plant capable of fruiting beyond a single short spring window when conditions are favorable.
• Compact and Runnerless: Use the tidy plants in containers, rock gardens, borders, and window boxes.
• Heirloom and Open-Pollinated: Grow a traditional variety and save seed from properly isolated plants.
• Non-GMO Seeds: Grow a traditional variety without genetic engineering.

Planting Tips for Success

• Sunlight: Provide full sun to partial shade, with at least 6 hours of direct light for the best fruiting.
• Soil: Use well-drained, nutrient-rich, slightly acidic soil around pH 5.5–6.5, amended with compost.
• Scarification: Gently shake seeds with fine sandpaper before sowing to help improve germination.
• Planting: Start indoors in a 4×4 black pot with germination mix, keeping temperatures around 65–75°F. Press seeds onto the surface or cover only very lightly.
• Spacing: Space established plants about 6–12 inches apart for airflow and healthy development.
• Watering: Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around established plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
• Fertilizing: Use balanced, light fertility at planting. Excess nitrogen can encourage foliage over fruit.
• Harvesting: Expect some production in the first fall, with fuller harvests developing in the second year. Pick berries when fully red and fragrant.
