Strawberry ‘Mignonette’
Approx. 25 seeds
A charming alpine strawberry that produces masses of small, intensely flavoured fruits from midsummer through to early autumn. ‘Mignonette’ is a runnerless variety, forming neat, compact plants that are perfect for edging paths, filling containers and adding interest to edible borders. The dainty red berries are wonderfully sweet, with a distinctive almond-like undertone that makes them a real treat straight from the plant.
Unlike many strawberries, ‘Mignonette’ can fruit in its first year from seed, with established plants producing even earlier crops from their second season onwards. It grows happily in partial shade, although the heaviest crops are produced when plants receive some sun. Rich in nectar and pollen, the flowers are attractive to bees and other beneficial insects, while the fruits are enjoyed by birds and wildlife.
Ideal for containers, hanging baskets and small-space gardens, where its tidy habit and long harvest season can be appreciated.
