Strawberry Mignonette

Strawberry 'Mignonette' is a wood alpine strawberry that produces masses of dainty red, sweet berries all summer. The plants are bushy and don't produce any runners, making them ideal for containers and hanging baskets. 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 hidden away.
