Strawberry Alpine 'Golden Alexandria"
| Genus: | STRAWBERRY (Alpine) |
| Variety: | ‘Golden Alexandria’ |
| Family Name: | Rosaceae |
| Catalogue No.: | 1204G |
| English Name: | Strawberry |
| Introduction: | If treated like a half-hardy annual and sown early under glass, these Strawberries should flower and fruit the first year from seed. Fruits are borne throughout the summer and autumn and, being a perennial, plants fruit again in future years. They prefer a moist and shaded position, an advantage in itself as most gardens have such a spot normally growing nothing better than Ground Elder. |
| Description: | A Strawberry with year round interest! If it never gave you fruit (which it will!) you would still want to find room in your garden for this lovely new variety. With most attractive, pale golden-yellow foliage, it bears for many weeks a crop of small red fruits which have a rich sweet flavor. Open ground or patio and easily grown as an annual. |
| Classification: | Perennial, Hardy, First Year Flowering |
