NEW ARRIVAL for 2025

Fragaria virginiana

These strawberries are tiny sun-ripened treats with the edible portion being the enlarged flower's center, known as the receptacle, studded with seed-like fruit. 

Fragaria virginiana thrives in an array of soils but prefers well-drained locales with full to partial sun exposure. The plants exhibit excellent fall colors, turning maroon and red, with the fruit appearing in early summer following a mid to late spring bloom. Easily grown in USDA Zones 4-9, the wild strawberry plant spreads rapidly and forms sprawling patches, making it ideal for ground cover or as a decorative border for woodland gardens. 

20 seeds

Scarification: Soak in water, let stand in water for 24 hours.

Stratification: none required

For most of the US:  Sow the Strawberry seeds from January to April indoors. Use quality seed starter mix, and small pots or starter trays. Sow the Wild Strawberry ground cover seeds on the surface and press the seed 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 on in cooler conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. After all danger of frost has passed, harden the young Wild Strawberry plants over a period of 7 - 10 days before planting outdoors in their permanent location.

For Florida growers: Plant strawberries  during the fall months--late September through October. Flower and berry growth begins in November; the harvest generally takes place in the months of April and May.
