The Alpine Strawberry is a popular perennial plant, famously prized for its tiny but intensely flavourful berries. The primary part used for its culinary value is its small fruit, which provides a sweet, aromatic flavour that is considered superior to many larger strawberries. However, its edibility doesn't stop there; the attractive, small white flowers are also edible, and the leaves can be gathered to make a mild, pleasant herbal tea. When it comes to planting and maintenance, this is an easy-to-grow, clump-forming perennial that is very adaptable and, unlike many strawberries, does not send out invasive runners. It is not fussy about its light conditions and will thrive in locations with either full sun or partial shade, making it an excellent edging plant. The main requirement for it to grow well is providing it with fertile soil that is kept moist but remains well-drained. As an added benefit to the garden, its attractive white flowers are known to be very popular with pollinators.
