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 x ananassa 'Mara des Bois' is an alpine strawberry but its fruits are equal in size to modern cultivars. Plant in spring in pots or in the ground.
