Ensure the crown (the base of the plant) is level with the soil surface. Regularly water the plants, keeping the soil moist but not overly saturated. Consistent watering is essential, especially during hot summer months.
Harvesting and Storage
As Fragaria vesca 'Alexandria' begins to set fruit, you'll eagerly anticipate the bountiful harvest. Gently pluck the ripe berries, taking care not to bruise or damage them.
