Fragaria vesca var. semperflorens 'Alexandria'
An alpine strawberry selection producing small intensely flavored fruit continuously through summer into fall. Does not produce runners making it suitable for borders and containers. The white flowers and small red fruit appear simultaneously over extended period.
The everbearing habit provides continuous harvest. The lack of runners makes it clump-forming and manageable. The small fruit is prized for intense flavor. Suitable for edging, herb gardens, and containers. The continuous flowering and fruiting extend ornamental interest. Compact habit suits small spaces.
