Alpine strawberry 'Rügen'

Keep in mind when planting that Rügen is thought of as hardy, so this plant will survive close to or on freezing temperatures. A soil ph of between 5.8 and 6.5 is ideal for Rügen as it does best in weakly acidic soil.

As Rügen is hardy, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
