The sweetly flavored fruits of alpine strawberries (Fragaria vesca) are a Continental delicacy and the plants are as attractive as the berries are delicious. The dainty, pointed berries boast an ambrosial woodland flavor that is a combination of strawberry, pineapple, and rose. Alpine strawberry plants are well behaved in the garden and are remarkably easy to grow, so I heartily recommend them to all gardeners who love ornamental edibles.
