Fragaria vesca 'Alexandria' (Alpine Strawberry 'Alexandria') is a compact alpine strawberry that brings edible fruit and a tidy groundcover habit to beds, borders, and containers. You will see small white flowers followed by flavorful red berries, often over a long season when conditions are good. The plant stays low, typically about 6-12 inches tall, and gradually spreads to fill in around it.

Plant it where you can enjoy both the foliage and the harvest: full sun produces the best fruit, but part shade is also suitable, especially in warmer regions. Choose soil that drains well and enrich it with compost at planting time. Keep the soil evenly moist while plants establish, then water during dry spells to support flowering and fruiting.

This selection is known for a neat, stoloniferous spread that makes it useful as a living edging or an attractive filler at the front of a planting. You can also grow it in pots or window boxes; just use a quality potting mix and water more frequently, as containers dry out faster than garden beds.

Harvest berries when fully colored for the sweetest flavor. Remove spent stems as desired to keep the planting looking fresh, and refresh mulch to help conserve moisture and keep fruit clean. With basic care, you will have a charming, productive alpine strawberry that fits easily into small spaces.
