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, Fragaria vesca, are ever-bearing, meaning they produce fruit whenever conditions are favourable – usually from spring to autumn.

Fragaria vesca 'Mignonette' is a compact alpine strawberry, bearing masses of tiny fruit from midsummer to early autumn. Grow in moist but well-drained, fertile soil in full sun to partial shade. Suitable for growing in hanging baskets.
