Everbearing Yellow Alpine Strawberry

‘Yellow Wonder’ is a compact alpine strawberry with white flowers and pale yellow fruit that ripens over a long season. The runnerless habit keeps the plant in a neat clump, so it works well along an edge, in a small bed, or in a container. ## Growing Conditions Grow it in full sun or partial shade in average, sandy, or clay soil that stays moderately moist. Its mature height is about 6–10 inches, with a spread around 10–12 inches. In hot weather, light afternoon shade and steady moisture can help protect flowering and fruiting. ## Seasonal Interest White flowers appear from spring into fall, followed by small conical berries that ripen from pale lemon to golden yellow. The fruit is edible and sweet, with a delicate aroma; it can be picked fresh or used as a garnish. The plant is perennial and may keep some foliage through mild winters. [Perennials.com](https://www.perennials.com/plants/fragaria-vesca-yellow-wonder.html) provides selection-specific size and garden-use details, and the [Chicago Botanic Garden](https://www.chicagobotanic.org/plant-information/plant-finder/fragaria-vesca-yellow-wonder-yellow-wonder-alpine-strawberry) lists its bloom color, seasons, exposure, and hardiness. ## Maintenance Water during dry spells so the root zone does not dry out while fruit is developing. Pick ripe berries regularly and remove tired leaves as needed. Because this selection is typically runnerless, it stays contained; divide or replace older crowns when productivity declines.
