Alpine Strawberry ‘Baron Solemacher’
£2.90
Availability: Only 10 left in stock
Fragaria Vesca – 0.1g – Approx 250 Seeds
‘Baron Solemacher’ is a German heirloom first offered by seed merchant F.C. Heinemann in 1935.
It produces little red strawberries with a deliciously sweet flavour and that lovely wild strawberry fragrance.
It’s perennial too, returning each year and fruiting over a long season
Surface sow in trays Jan – Apr at approx 20°c. When seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant to small pots and grow on in cooler conditions. Harden off and plant out after the risk of frost has passed (typically May – July). Harvest throughout summer. Early sown plants may fruit in the first year.

Seed Story
In France, alpine strawberries are known for their perfume above all else. They’re best enjoyed fresh from the plant or added to simple dishes such as crème fraîche or yoghurt to allow their scent and incomparable flavour to really shine. They are far too delicate for commercial processing, so you won’t find them in supermarkets, which makes them a real gourmet ingredient – prized by top chefs and pâtissiers. A true garden treasure like no other.
