You'll be thrilled by the productivity and vigor of this runnerless selection that is an aggressive grower along with an aggressive fruiter.  Loads of bloom grace this plant in early to mid May followed by a remarkable number of dime sized, sweet fruit that mature and orangy-red color. Unlike standard Strawberries, 'Alexandria' will continue to bloom and fruit throughout the summer and, because of its runnerless nature, it is an outstanding plant to use in a hanging basket or a container on a deck.
