Alexandria is a day-neutral alpine strawberry with compact plants that produce few runners, making it useful for herb-garden borders, containers and the edges of vegetable or flower beds. The plants suit USDA Zones 3–8 and can be grown where ground space is limited.
Sow the seeds on the soil surface because they need light to germinate. For indoor sowing, cold-treat the seed in moist soil or a paper towel in the refrigerator for 2–3 weeks, then provide warm soil until germination. Transplant after the last frost when seedlings have at least three sets of leaves, spacing them 12 inches apart.
