Product description

Parksmultron of the variety 'Schöne Wienerin' in P9 pot

The variety 'Schöne Wienerin' is self-fertile so only one plant is needed for fruit setting.

Common names: Musk Strawberry, Hautbois Strawberry
Scientific name: Fragaria moschata
Family: Rosaceae

Plant history & use:

Our predecessor to the strawberry. Cultivated in Sweden in the 17th century under the name strawberry . Since the beginning of the 20th century, however, the plant has been completely replaced by the modern strawberry, which also took over its name. Origin from the Caucasus Mountains.

The berries of the park wild strawberry are larger than the common wild strawberry ( F. vesca ) but smaller than the strawberry. The berries have an intense aroma and taste, similar to a mixture of strawberry, raspberry and pineapple. Juicy flesh. The berries are red only on the part where the sun hits.

Blooms more abundantly and more beautifully than the common wild strawberry.

Best eaten straight from the plant, but can also be used to make juice and jelly.

Like many other ground covers, the park strawberry is effective in preventing erosion: for example, in bare plains where water often washes away soil. 

'Schöne Wienerin' is an old variety that was particularly popular in the late 19th century. It was discovered and preserved during the excavation of a garden in Dresden, Germany.

Breeder Gottlieb Goeschke described the variety as follows:
"a new park strawberry that puts all others in complete shadow."
The size of the fruits is significant and their shape is extra elongated.
The color is shiny dark brown-red, the flesh is cream-colored and melting, honey-sweet and with a wonderful aroma […]”

Culture:

The park wild strawberry spreads vigorously with its long, branched runners and becomes an excellent ground cover in the right location.

Grows best in sun to partial shade. Produces large berries in abundance in sunny locations. Ripens July-August.

Grow in a nutritious, well-drained and moisture-retaining soil in a sunny location. They thrive best in a light sandy soil rich in humus. To give the plant a humus-rich soil, you can mulch plant residues (e.g. grass clippings) into the top layer of soil or cover the soil with a layer of plant residues. Grows well in both acidic and calcareous soils.

Features:

Year: Perennial
Growing conditions: sun-partial shade
