Fragaria vesca 'Improved Rügen' - Alpine Strawberry｜ Other Products

Sweet, charming, and useful enough to earn a spot along the path, Fragaria vesca ‘Improved Rugen’ is an alpine strawberry grown as much for beauty as for snacking. This compact woodland strawberry produces dainty white flowers followed by small, flavorful red fruit, making it a delightful edible groundcover for containers, borders, and garden edges.

Also known as Improved Rugen Alpine Strawberry, this easy perennial is especially handy because it produces very few, very short runners, so it stays much better behaved than many strawberries. In warmer Zone 9 gardens, Fragaria vesca often remains nearly evergreen and can flower and fruit over a long season. Use it to edge pathways, tuck into herb gardens, brighten pots, or weave through edible landscaping where visitors may be tempted to snack.

Plant Fragaria vesca ‘Improved Rugen’ in sun to part shade with rich, well-drained soil and regular water. Sweet, compact, and rewarding, it is a lovely edible perennial for small-space gardens. Explore more delicious picks in our Strawberries collection.
