Strawberry Alexandria is a distinguished alpine strawberry heirloom prized for its exceptional flavor intensity, aromatic complexity, and day-neutral fruiting characteristics. This perennial variety produces berries substantially larger than wild alpine types while maintaining the concentrated sweetness and sophisticated taste profile that define premium strawberry cultivation. This is a small berry type strawberry, not like the ones you find in the store. But they have so much more flavor. The defining advantage of Alexandria is its day-neutral flowering habit, which extends the harvest season throughout the growing year rather than restricting production to traditional spring-summer windows. This extended productivity maximizes yield from limited garden space while providing consistent fresh fruit availability across multiple seasons. The variety's compact growth architecture—characteristic of alpine strawberries—eliminates the sprawling runners typical of conventional strawberry cultivars, enabling precise spatial management and aesthetic integration. Alexandria's versatility across growing environments distinguishes it from conventional strawberry varieties. The compact form excels in rock gardens, pathway borders, container cultivation, and window box installations, making it invaluable for urban gardeners, balcony cultivators, and landscape designers seeking edible ornamental integration. The plant's decorative appeal combined with prolific fruiting creates functional beauty without aesthetic compromise. Each packet contains 200 Non-GMO, heirloom seeds selected for genetic purity and true-to-type plant development. The variety establishes reliable, consistent plants that honor traditional strawberry genetics while delivering contemporary cultivation reliability. Alexandria thrives in well-drained soil with consistent moisture and full sun exposure, where it maintains steady growth and continuous fruit production. Strawberry Alexandria is essential for flavor-focused gardeners, small-space cultivators, and landscape professionals seeking gourmet berries with ornamental presence. Our sustainably sourced seeds arrive in eco-conscious, fully recyclable packaging designed to preserve seed viability while minimizing environmental impact.

Germination Rate: 84%. Test Date: 04/26. JSS

Growing tip: Put seeds in a container with a piece of fine sandpaper and shake. This will increase germination rate and decrease the time needed for germination.

SPECIAL NOTE: Strawberries are hard to germinate, and we recommend that only seasoned veterans try them.  They can take up to 4 to 6 weeks to germinate in a lab under ideal conditions. We recommend that they be started in 4 x 4 black pots using a germination mix. They need to be kept between 65 and 75 degrees. Here in Texas, these guys have lived through six-degree weather and can handle temps as high as 90, even higher when covered with 30 shade cloth. Plant them in an area where they can keep growing.
