Alpine Strawberry 'Mignonette' are a delicious, easy to grow perennial alpine strawberry plant that produces petite, sweet strawberries all summer long. Once you have tasted a fresh, just picked Alpine Mignonette Strawberry you will know why they are so popular with gardeners around the globe. Don't let the fact that the petite Alpine Mignonette Strawberries are a French delicacy deter you from growing them yourself, Alpine Strawberries are amazingly tough and cold hardy!

Unlike traditional strawberry plants, Alpine Strawberry plants do not produce runners and are only able to be propagated from seed or from mature divisions.  We offer sustainably grown Alpine Strawberry plants grown using only organic methods and 100% pesticide-free for sale at our farm and on our website in a variety of sizes including 3.5" plants and 5.5" plants. We recently added Alpine Strawberry 'Vesca' variety for those gardeners desiring an alpine strawberry that produces runners. Once you plant these attractive, soft green mounding plants in the ground you can expect flowers, then petite fruits to start appearing in a matter of months.

We have found that 6 -12 plants is sufficient for 2-3 people to have a nice supply of Alpine Strawberries to eat on breakfast cereal, as a dessert or to bake with once a week. Alpine Strawberries produce lower yields than typical strawberry plants and the fruit is about 1/4 of the size, but they do consistently produce fruit well into fall and start up the first thing in the spring.

The nice compact growth habit of Alpine Strawberries makes them perfect to use in strawberry pots, hanging baskets, container plantings or as a front of the perennial border ground cover plant, which is what we do at the farm. If you have a greenhouse that stays above freezing in the winter, you will find that Alpine Strawberry plants will produce well into late December.
