The alpine strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is a smaller but more flavorful version of common garden strawberries. Closely related to wild or woodland strawberries, the alpines are considered a gourmet strawberry. Producing throughout the summer, alpines are easy to grow, either in beds or containers. They are hardy to U.S. Department of Agriculture zones 3a though 8b.

Plant: 3-6" (7.6-15 cm) high.
Flowers: White flowers about ½" (1.3 cm) around. Flowers and berries usually rise above the leaves.
Leaves: In groups of three; each leaflet is ½-2½" (1.5-6.3 cm) long.
Fruit: Berries are usually red, sometimes white even when ripe, about ⅜" (1 cm) around. Achenes (which look like seeds) appear on the surface of the berry.
Habitats: Moist woods
Type: Wild

EDIBILITY: Wild strawberries were the first variety to be cultivated and sold. They are delicious, much more flavorful than today’s cultivated varieties. Eat them raw, prepare jams, or use them anywhere you would use grocery store strawberries. The dried leaves make a tasty tea.
