How to Grow
Strawberry 'Alexandria' seeds should be started indoors in early spring, from February to April, where warmth and moisture help germination. These alpine strawberries thrive in containers or garden beds, so plan to transplant seedlings after the last frost to a 30 cm pot or suitable garden space.
Sowing
Sow the seeds on the surface of moist seed compost and gently press them down without covering, as light aids germination. Maintaining consistent warmth and moisture during sowing in late winter or early spring encourages successful sprouting.
Growing
Once seedlings appear and frost risk has passed, pot on or plant out with enough space to accommodate their spread in containers or garden beds. A 30 cm pot is ideal to support healthy root development and growth throughout the growing season from May to September.
Plant care
Keep the soil consistently moist but well-drained, watering regularly especially during dry spells. Pinch back runners to encourage bushier growth and more abundant fruiting, and remove any dead leaves to maintain plant health and vigour throughout the season.
