BOTANICAL SAMPLE - NOT GERMINATION TESTED

Life cycle: Perennial

The wild strawberry, also known as Virginia strawberry, scarlet strawberry, or common strawberry, is a widespread North American native perennial. It is perhaps best-known as one of the parent species of the domesticated garden strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa), along with the beach strawberry (Fragaria chiloensis), which is native to western North and South America. But our native wild strawberries are not to be overlooked. Wild strawberries taste like the very best domesticated strawberries, only better. Despite coming in a small package (seldom larger than 3/4 of an inch), they have a rich, sweet, deep strawberry flavor. The leaves also make a fine tea, rich in Vitamin C.

Wild strawberries also have many medicinal uses. According to Plants for a Future, "The whole plant is antiseptic, astringent, emmenagogue, galactogogue and odontalgic. It has been used to regulate the menstrual cycle. A tea made from the leaves has been used as a nerve tonic and is slightly astringent. A poultice made from the dried powdered leaves mixed with oil has been used to treat open sores. A tea made from the roots is diuretic. It has been used in the treatment of diarrhoea, irregular menses, gonorrhoea, stomach and lung ailments." The fruit juice of wild strawberries has been demonstrated to have anti-cancer capabilities as well, including against a particular form of lung cancer cells.

NOTE: This species should not be confused with the ubiquitous mock strawberry (Potentilla indica), with which it bears superficial similarities. Many people who have eaten the flavorless mock strawberry erroneously believe they've eaten wild strawberries, which we believe has caused great damage to the reputation of this truly wonderful native fruit.

Our seed comes from Prairie Moon Nursery in Winona, Minnesota.

GROWING TIPS: Seeds will germinate best following 60 days of cold-moist stratification. Young seedlings can be surface sown in good soil or growing medium kept moist. Germination can be irregular. Young seedlings should be kept moist too, and not planted out until they are large enough to fend for themselves. Will spread extensively by runners, making it very easy to propagate more plants and spread to other parts of your farm or garden. Wild strawberries are at home in a range of habitats, but they grow best in full sun and among plants that won't shade them out completely. They prefer fields and meadows with relatively sparse vegetation and moist soil. They are happy in either loamy or sandy soil. Fragaria virginiana a classic edge species, often found along woodland edges, trails, roads or railroads, in open clearings in forests, and limestone glades. In dry years, they may conserve their energy by not fruiting at all. This is a very drought tolerant species overall, and very cold hardy. Thrives in Zones 3-10.

Perfect latex pillow
Size: Queen Size
I’ve been using the pillow for about a week, and I’m really happy with it so far. It’s soft and bouncy but still gives enough support for my neck, which is hard to find in a pillow. When I first received it, there was a slight odor from the new materials, but it went away after about two days, so it wasn’t a big deal at all. What I noticed right away is how it kind of molds to your head and neck without feeling too firm. It’s definitely more supportive than regular foam or down pillows, but it’s not stiff at all. I also like that it stays cool throughout the night—I never wake up feeling overheated. Overall, it’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a pillow that’s soft but not too soft, with enough support to keep your neck comfortable. Definitely worth trying if you’re picky about pillows like I am.

Our favorite pillows & we're picky!
Size: Queen Size
My whole family love these pillows, & we are picky pillow people! They are comfortable through the whole night & I get the best nights sleep. We even put them in our AirBnB house & guests ask where they can buy one. I highly recommend. They are soft on your head but still supportive.

Excellent pillow
Size: Queen Size
I have now been using this pillow for 6 months and I’m very pleased with my purchase. It’s all one piece, not shredded material that shifts. Stays exactly the same shape. Bouncy & not too thick or thin. Stays cool. I don’t plan on ever using any other kind. I sleep so well and no neck pain.

The PERFECT Pillow!
Size: Queen Size
As I grow older, I was waking up with a sore neck. I tried a variety of pillows including feather, fiberfill and memory foam, but Latex was the best by far. Now to find the perfect Latex pillow... First I tried Dunlop Latex but found it too firm. Then I tried 2 different Tatalay Latex. One was soft until my head sunk down, then it became too firm. The second one, this one, was PERFECT. Soft but not too soft, and my head never bottoms out. Feels like my head is floating on air. And no rubber odor. There is a slight scent initially but it isn't unpleasant. I've been sleeping on this pillow for 10 days now and have never slept better. I don't find that it's any warmer than any other pillow. The pillow comes with a nice soft stretchy cotton cover. (I purchased a spare pillow for the future).

For laying on the back,this pillow is dreamy.Some support,but also very soft.Side sleeping feels different.It's like my face being on a balloon,held there,without much ability to move.
