Fragaria vesca var. semperflorens ‘Improved Rügen’ is a refined strain of the classic Alpine strawberry, originally developed in Europe and prized for its reliability and extended production season. Unlike typical woodland strawberries that fruit once, ‘Improved Rügen’ is everbearing, producing a steady crop of small, conical red berries from late spring through fall. The fruit is exceptionally fragrant and sweet, with an intense wild-strawberry flavor that is richer and more complex than commercial varieties. Plants stay compact and runner-less, forming neat clumps covered in white blooms and abundant berries, making them ideal for borders, containers, and gourmet gardens where taste and ornamental appeal matter. Other names include Alpine Strawberry, Fraise du Bois, Baron Solemacher Strain
Fragaria vesca, commonly known as Woodland Strawberries, are one of the oldest strawberry species cultivated and enjoyed in Europe, dating back to ancient Roman times. These petite berries are prized for their intensely sweet, aromatic flavor that far surpasses most modern commercial strawberries, with a soft texture and rich perfume-like scent. They are naturally small—often no larger than a fingernail—and grow on compact plants that produce delicate white flowers followed by bright red berries. Woodland strawberries thrive in forests, meadows, and shaded garden edges, spreading by runners and forming attractive low-growing mats, making them both ornamental and delicious.
