Growing Tips
Alexandria Alpine strawberry grows best in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. Full sun is ideal, but it can use some shade in hotter climates. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, and mulching helps retain moisture and control weeds​. This variety doesn't send out runners, so it focuses on fruit production, making it great for containers, hanging baskets, and rock gardens.
When to Grow
Start seeds indoors about 8 weeks before the last frost date, or sow them outside once the danger of frost has passed. For many regions in the U.S., this means starting around early spring. Strawberries can be grown year-round in warmer climates, but they do need protection from frost in colder areas.
How to Sow and Plant
Sow seeds on the surface of the soil without covering them, as they require light for germination. Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature around 65 F. Germination can take 2-4 weeks. Once seedlings develop true leaves, they can be transplanted into individual pots or directly into the garden, keeping plants 8 inches apart​.
How to Grow
Provide plenty of sunlight and water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist. Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer for optimal growth. Regularly remove old leaves after fruiting to encourage new growth​. Alpine strawberries are ever-bearing, and harvest begins in the first season.
How to Save
- To save strawberry seeds, allow the fruit to become very ripe, then mash the fruit in a bowl and wash the pulp away through successive rinsing.
- Spread seeds out on a paper plate to dry.
- Strawberries are insect-pollinated, so alpine strawberries will cross between varieties. It is wise to grow just one variety at a time or isolate by at least 1/2 mile to prevent mixing.
- Strawberry seed will remain viable for 2 or more years when stored properly, in cool, dry conditions.
