Key benefits

  • Creamy white berries with a sweet, aromatic flavour
  • Fruits over a long season from early summer into autumn
  • Compact plant about 15cm tall, for pots and window boxes
  • Hardy perennial that crops for several years
  • A packet of about 100 seeds from Piccolo Seeds

'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.

  • Height: about 15cm, with a spread of 20cm

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.
