About Mignonette Strawberry
Mignonette is an alpine strawberry grown for its small, deep red berries with concentrated sweetness and strong fragrance. Unlike large commercial strawberries, alpine types produce delicate, flavorful fruit in smaller quantities, prized more for taste than size.
The aroma and sweetness often remind growers of the fresh strawberries sold in hill stations like Mahabaleshwar, where cooler temperatures bring out rich flavor. Compact, runner-free plants stay tidy in containers and raised beds, producing berries steadily rather than all at once.
Why We Grow It
We grow Mignonette because flavor matters more than size. In California’s mild seasons, these compact plants produce intensely sweet berries that feel closer to traditional, small-fruited strawberries than supermarket varieties, making them perfect for gardeners who value taste and nostalgia.
