Notes
'Alexandria Alpine Strawberry' woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca 'Alexandria Alpine Strawberry') is a fruit for borders, containers, food gardens, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in early to late spring and again in early to late summer, and butterflies, bees, and birds visit it. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. It spreads about 12 inches wide, so give it room.
Pairs well with Sweet violet, Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, and Thai basil.
