Alpine Strawberry Seeds grow into aromatic plants that produce tasty, crimson-colored strawberries.
It's a joy to grow these strawberries in pots and borders.
With its compact foliage, delicious fruits will dangle from these strawberry plants all summer!
It's best to start these indoors in the early spring.
For better luck with germination, freeze strawberry seeds in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag for two to four weeks. Then, remove the container or bag from the freezer, wait until it's reached room temperature to open, and then sow the seeds in peat pellets or seed starting mix and place the seed-starting tray in a warm, but not hot, location.
Strawberry seeds require cold stratification. What is it? Certain seeds require cold plus moisture to germinate because cold air allows gases to enter the seed, which helps them break their dormancy. Also called moist-prechilling, moist chilling, or cold-moist stratification, the typical temperature range for breaking dormancy using this method is 33–50°F, with strawberry seeds tolerating temperatures as low as 20°F.
Cold stratification in a refrigerator or freezer imitates the cold of fall and winter, which helps some seeds—like strawberries—"wake up" to germinate. Please review our gardening guide to learn more about seed stratification.
