Wild strawberries are much sought after by gourmet chefs. Berries tend to be tiny but are packed with flavour – delicate and slightly acidic. They grow well in shade but fruit best when given a little sun.
Alpine strawberries are ever-bearing, meaning they produce fruit whenever conditions are favourable – usually from spring to autumn.
Fragaria vesca 'Golden Alexandria' is a golden-leaved alpine variety, producing small fruits with a rich, sweet flavour.
