Alpine Strawberry - Fragaria vesca

Sow Indoors: Start seeds 8–10 weeks before the last frost in a seed-starting mix. Gently press the seeds onto the surface and do not cover them, as they need light to germinate.

Germination: Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65–70°F (18–21°C). Germination usually takes 2–4 weeks.

Transplant: Once seedlings have a few sets of leaves and outdoor conditions are frost-free, harden off and transplant them to your garden or containers, spacing about 6–8 inches apart.

Sunlight and Care: Plant in full sun or partial shade with well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly and mulch around the plants to retain moisture.

Alpine strawberries are great for adding flavor to your garden and are often perfect for containers or small spaces.
