Also known as Wild Strawberry, Woodland Strawberry, or Alpine Strawberry, this hardy Fragaria Vesca is a strong grower. This edible, cold-tolerant Strawberry has been harvested and enjoyed since the Stone Age and was traded from Europe along the Silk Road into Asia. Alpine Strawberry plants boast a rich history!

π± Growing Fragaria Vesca From Seed: Sow the Strawberry seeds from January to April indoors. Use quality seed starter mix and small pots or starter trays. Sow the Wild Strawberry seeds on the surface and press them into the mix. Keep the soil damp but not wet, and seal the starter tray or pots inside a plastic bag until after germination. When the Strawberry seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into 3-inch pots and grow them in cooler conditions until they are large enough to plant outdoors. Once all danger of frost has passed, harden the young Wild Strawberry plants over a period of 7-10 days before planting them in their permanent location. π
