Seeds for alpine strawberries are available from any good seed house. The 
resulting plants are not prone to sending out runners and are very compact in 
size. Germination is relatively high and even. Expect a regular crop in the 
second year with the possibility of a few berries the fall of the first year. 
The berries are small, intensely flavorful (nothing like the cardboard 
tasting berries currently marketed out of California) and production is 
confined to a short season.

Recommended.
