White Soul Alpine Strawberry
✓ In your garden
White Soul Alpine is an alpine strawberry. It makes tiny, wildly fragrant berries a few at a time all season — and unlike other strawberries, you grow it from seed and it sends out no runners, so it stays a tidy little clump. Give it full sun to part shade and rich, evenly moist soil.
“Tiny, intensely fragrant wild-type berries.”

Growing White Soul Alpine — the things that trip people up
- Alpine strawberries grow from seed and make no runners, so they never spread — grow them as tidy edging clumps, and let a few berries drop to self-sow, or divide the clumps every few years.
- Give them rich, evenly moist soil and full sun to a little afternoon shade. They fruit lightly but steadily all season, right up to frost.
