Alpine Mignonette Strawberry
$2.95
$3.25
Renee's Garden - A French delicacy. Our improved cultivar of heirloom Reine de Vallée produces dainty little pointed red berries with an ambrosial woodland flavor. Mignonette forms compact perennial plants that grow in pretty leafy mounds and produce fruits the first summer from seed to enjoy all season long. These special petite berries are lovely as a border edging or in containers or plant them in hanging pots so you can pluck their exquisite little fruits as you stroll past.
Characteristics:
Dainty little berries
Ambrosial flavor

Instructions - In spring, sow seeds 1 inch apart and 1⁄8 inch deep in a container of fine seed starting mix. Maintain at 60-70°F (15-21°C). Provide a strong light source.

When they have several sets of leaves, transplant them 3 inches apart into a deeper container or individual pots so root systems have room to develop.
