Notes

'White Soul Alpine Strawberry' woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca 'White Soul Alpine Strawberry') is a fruit for borders, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. It blooms in spring and again in summer. Bees, butterflies, and birds visit it, and it is also drought tolerant.

Pairs well with Sweet violet, Jack Frost Siberian bugloss, and Thai basil.
