We have been growing alpine strawberries or wild strawberries or fraises du bois if you prefer for a couple of years now. We raise plants from seed and keep them growing until they look spent and then replace with new plants. They provide us with berries usually until the first keen frosts.
We have grown the variety Mignonette and would now like to try a different variety but can't find anyone who supplies any seeds other than Mignonette. Does anyone know of anyone who offers other varieties?

Thanks - I think Alexandria was one of the varieties that someone recommended.
