The wild strawberry extends the strawberry season into autumn and should not be missing in any snack garden.
Month strawberries taste delicious and can be cultivated in the garden bed, in planters or pots on the balcony or terrace. The tasty berries are descended from native forest berries. They are not only robust, but also provide delicious and decorative fruit from June to October. Even though the wild strawberry is smaller than the once-bearing cultivated strawberry, it convinces with its great aroma. The monthly strawberry Alexandria is one of the best varieties. It is uncomplicated and robust. The wild strawberry is perennial and wintergreen. Even in the rather dreary winter season, it enriches the garden with its green leaves and attracts all eyes.
Woodberries are delicate and decorative
The leaves of the strawberry plant are triangular. They are dark green and form a great background for the white flowers and red fruits. The individual leaves are strongly serrated, which gives the foliage an interesting appearance. The strawberry plants grow flat, spreading and carpet-like. They reach a maximum height of 15 to 20 centimetres. The white flowers are cup-shaped and form continuously from May to September. This gives rise to the lovely red berries.
The ideal location for the wild strawberry
Strawberries can be planted all year round. If you buy wild strawberries, you have many options for incorporating them into the garden. When planting, however, make sure that the soil is humus-rich and well-drained. The soil can dry out from time to time, and especially in summer you should always provide the plant with sufficient water. The ideal location for the strawberry is sunny to semi-shady. The sunnier the strawberry plants are, the sourer the berries will be.
The strawberry of the month is a highlight everywhere
The perennial wild strawberries are a great accent in the garden or in the garden. They are a charming eye-catcher everywhere. The strawberry also attracts bees, bumblebees and butterflies with its flowers. This also makes them ecologically valuable for the local fauna. If you want to plant wild strawberries, you can also use them as border planting for beds or combine them in the garden bed with raspberries or other berry plants. Strawberries can also be used in vegetable beds alongside leeks, radishes or lettuce. The strawberry of the month is even a hit as a decorative ground cover and planter. In this case, no more than twelve plants should be planted per square metre. The wild strawberry is a feast for the eyes at any stage. This makes it extremely valuable for garden lovers. A snack garden without wild strawberries is practically inconceivable.
