description for "Strawberry: Fragaria vesca 'Mignonette'"
'Mingonette' is a French delicacy. This improved cultivar of heirloom ‘Reine de Valée’ produces dainty little pointed red berries with an ambrosial woodland flavor. Mignonette forms compact perennial plants that grow in pretty leafy mounds and produce fruits the first summer from seed to enjoy all season long. These special petite strawberries are lovely as a border edging or in containers, or plant them in hanging pots so you can pluck their exquisite little fruits as you stroll past. Pick and enjoy these delightful petite perfumed berries when they turn a deep red and give slightly to the touch. Sprinkle a handful over your morning cereal or nestle the ruby colored berries on tiny tarts or cakes. – edited by dtd pbcouchman
