The Italian Gardener

This alpine or wild strawberry is a small clumping plant with small superbly fragrant and delicious fruit. Grow as a ground cover space 30cm apart in moist partial shade. The plants require less fertile soil and are more resistant to disease than normal strawberries. Sow under glass in the spring and plant out when the threat of frost has passed.  Delicious fresh or made into preserves or tarts.
