100 White Soul Strawberry - Fragaria Vesca Seeds

A rare twist on a timeless favorite, White Soul Strawberry (Fragaria vesca ‘White Soul’) is an alpine variety prized for its fragrant flavor, white-fleshed berries, and compact form. These seeds grow into low-growing perennial plants that produce delicate white flowers followed by ivory-colored berries—sweet, juicy, and nearly seedless in taste.

White Soul strawberries are not just ornamental—they're highly edible and ideal for shaded garden beds, patio containers, or tucked into borders. The flavor is subtly tropical, often compared to pineapple or rosewater, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. They thrive in cooler climates and make excellent understory plantings, maturing just 6 inches tall and spreading 12–18 inches across.

We like White Soul for its productivity in partial shade, non-staining white berries (perfect for clean eating in the garden), and the way it fills quiet garden corners with edible beauty. Hardy in zones 4–9, it returns each year with minimal maintenance.
