Pruning mignonette alpine strawberry — FAQ
When should I prune mignonette alpine strawberry?
As needed throughout the growing season. Remove outer dead or yellowing leaves at the base regularly. Cut off any flower trusses in year one if establishing from seed to build a stronger crown. Since there are no runners, no additional pruning is needed. Divide or replace exhausted clumps in late summer after 3–4 years.
How often does mignonette alpine strawberry need pruning?
Minimal — routine leaf hygiene as needed; clump renewal every 3–4 years. Mignonette alpine strawberry is a runnerless, compact everbearing type. Pruning is limited to removing dead, damaged or yellowing leaves through the season to improve airflow and reduce fungal risk. The plants do not require runner removal or tipping. Replace clumps every 3–4 years as productivity naturally declines.
