ALI BABA STRAWBERRY FRAGARIA VESCA * This gorgeous, deep red Non-GMO strawberry yields a huge bounty of berries over an extended growing season, and serves as an interesting ground cover. * Ali baba is an improved perennial variety of the extremely sweet wild, alpine strawberries. * The flavor is a unique, sweet taste that is almost like eating candy. * Ali baba seems to have more disease resistance and isn't as affected by pest pressure as much as the more domesticated varieties. * Ali baba does very well in shade being a direct descendant of wild strawberries. * Birds and other pests are more likely to leave it alone because of the lack of red pigments which seem to be a bird attractant, so having netting and other protective covers over the berries are unnecessary. * The leaves are excellent in herbal teas and are very rich in Vitamin C. In fact, the Vitamin C content of these strawberry leaves is amongst the highest of plants! * There are, supposed, benefits to using the green, leafy part of this strawberry plant. It is said to help the skin in a number of ways. * This strawberry is a low growing, small plant and will do wonderful in hanging baskets, window boxes and other containers. * Ali baba is also appealing to a number of pollinators and is a bee attractant. * Strawberry flowers will attract a number of beneficial insects to the garden and, in turn, bring balance to it.
