Fragaria virginiana

Origin: Eastern North America

Improvement status: Wild

Seeds per packet: ~30

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.

Half a bad batch?
Flavor Name: Venison Sticks - Original
Unsure if I got a bad batch, ill explain why I gave it a 3. First four I had had the consistency of a banana and just tasted extremely off. It was oily, greasy, and the texture was just not something I ever experienced, and ive had venison/beef sticks before. It was pretty disgusting I brought them to work to ensure they didnt go to waste and kept one The one I had was perfect flavor, texture, non greasy and exactly what I had expected. Checked with the coworkers I shared them with and theirs were fine. It leads me to believe maybe it was a bad batch? If they were all like the first few id say 0 stars, if they were all like the last id say 5

Good tasting, healthy snack that is high in protein and low in fat. But can be a pain to open.
Flavor Name: Beef Sticks - Original
These beef sticks are some of the healthiest, best-tasting snacks on the market. They're not cheap, but they are good value for money. Their compact size makes them easy to pack in you car, backpack or purse for a healthy, protein snack when needed. The fat content is minimal, but certainly adds to the overall flavor. The only issue is the packaging. We've been getting these regularly for more than a year, and nearly every time the "Peel Here To Open" end of the stick is actually sealed. It's like the machine is missing the mark, so you have to use scissors and that makes them way less convenient. Seems like a simple fix.

Reliable product made with care
quality has been consistently excellent every single time. It’s reliable, tastes great, and you can tell it’s made with care. What really stands out is how it makes me feel afterward. Even after working a 12-hour overtime shift, I don’t feel as exhausted. It genuinely helps me keep my energy up. Highly recommend if you’re looking for something dependable and effective. I’ll definitely keep ordering.

Look nice.
These were really nice for canned oysters, way better than what we can get in the stores in our area. Perfect for milk based oyster soup! the ratio is one can of cream of mushroom, one can full of milk, one can of oysters. Add butter, salt, pepper, and bring to a boil.

Does the job
Tastes like boiled oysters, so it has that nailed down. I use it in my shrimp ramen noodles sometimes, sometimes I use it to flavor garnish dishes. Best price I could find, but apparently it is a specialty product.
