Description

'White Soul' bears small, creamy white alpine strawberries with a sweet, aromatic flavour that Piccolo likens to guava and pineapple, and they look striking mixed with red berries in a bowl. Fragaria vesca 'White Soul' makes a neat, compact plant only about 15cm tall, so it suits pots, window boxes and the front of a border. The pale yellow-white fruits appear over a long season from early summer into autumn. Eat them straight from the plant, scatter them over desserts or pair them with red alpine strawberries for contrast.

Sowing and growing

  • Sow indoors January to April on the surface of moist compost; light helps germination
  • Germination: slow and uneven, 14 to 40 days at 18 to 20°C
  • Plant out after the last frosts in May or June, 20cm apart
  • Position: sun or part shade in moist, well-drained soil; good in containers
  • Height: about 15cm, with a spread of 20cm
  • Harvest: June to October; early sowings can fruit in the first year
  • Hardy perennial that crops for several years

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know when white strawberries are ripe?

They change from greenish white to a soft creamy pale yellow, give slightly when pressed and come away easily from the stalk. The scent becomes noticeably sweet once they are ready.

Will 'White Soul' fruit in its first year?

Plants sown early, from January to March, can give a first crop late in their first summer. Later sowings usually fruit well from the following June. After that they crop every year from early summer into autumn.

How long do alpine strawberry seeds take to germinate?

Expect two to six weeks, often unevenly. Press the seed onto the compost surface without covering it, keep it moist at around 18 to 20°C and be patient before giving up on a tray.

What is your returns policy?

We always aim to make sure our customers love our products, but if you do need to return an order within 14 days of purchase (not including plants*), or any items are damaged, we’re happy to help. Just email us directly at hello@growtropicals.com, and we’ll take you through the process. 

Please note: we cannot be held liable for any packaging costs should the original packaging be discarded.

*Unfortunately we cannot accept returns of undamaged plants as these are perishable items and are not saleable upon return. If a plant is damaged, we will compensate for this as per our live arrival guarantee.

When will my order arrive and how much is shipping?

When placing your order, you can choose from three dispatch speeds to suit your needs: Economy (prepared and shipped within 4-5 days), Standard (3-5 days), or Express (dispatched the very next day). Please keep in mind that "dispatch" refers to the time it takes our team to prepare and pack your items before handing them over to the courier, not the total delivery time.

Shipping costs are based on your total order value and will be calculated at checkout, with free shipping automatically applied to all orders over £60. For a full breakdown of shipping prices see our Help Centre.

Additionally, to protect the health and quality of our live plants, orders containing plants are exclusively shipped Monday through Thursday. This careful scheduling prevents your plants from being stuck in a dark shipping depot over the weekend, ensuring they arrive at your door vibrant and healthy.
