Alpine strawberry 'Mignonette'

Position in a partial sun location and remember to water moderately. Mignonette is generally regarded as a hardy plant, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). Mignonette needs a soil ph of 5.8 to 6.5 (weakly acidic soil).

This plant can be planted outside whilst at the 4-6 leaf stage. Although the plants are tiny, they will very quickly grow once situated outside.

Mignonette is hardy, so ensure you wait until all danger of frost has passed in your area before considering planting outside.

Berries should be harvested when fully dark pink-red – they should come off the plant with a light touch. If you have to tug them off, they’re likely to still be tart.
