Lovely strawberries with the strong, distinctive flavour we miss in produced berries.

Mignonette strawberry plants don’t make runners, so they’re an excellent choice for those who want to grow their berries in containers or a in a limited garden space.

The plants have a neat, bushy appearance.

Although the fruits are extremely small, they are carried in profusion.

Plant them and enjoy your very own home-grown berries.

Fresca' is a seed-grown, runnerless, everbearing cultivar which produces flavorful, medium-sized fruit from early summer until fall (with a pause during hot weather). Like most garden strawberries, it has attractive, toothed, three-lobed leaves. Seeds are very tiny.

Exploding with flavour when picked fresh from the garden, this heavy cropping strawberry produces delicious deep red fruit of medium size from late summer into autumn. Easy to grow and great for beginner gardeners. Suited to pots or garden beds.

'Fresca' likes ample sun and fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Start it indoors in winter for early first-season bloom. It is a good choice for culinary gardens, containers, or "strawberry towers".

Strawberry spinach is a bit of a misnomer. It is related to spinach and the leaves taste similar, but its berries share little with strawberries beyond color. The leaves are edible, but their flavor is very light and only mildly sweet.

Confound your friends at dinner parties with "fruit" in the salad bowl! You can eat the leaves of the same plant like spinach. And the roots like radishes too!! This very quick growing and amusing plant produces little red "strawberries" all the way along its stems.
