Description

Name: Alpine Strawberry, White Strawberry, Wild Strawberry, Woodland Strawberry (white fruits)
Quantity: 500+ Bulk Seeds
Description:The alpine strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is a smaller but more flavorful version of common garden strawberries. Closely related to wild or woodland strawberries, the alpines are considered a gourmet strawberry. Producing throughout the summer, alpines are easy to grow, either in beds or containers. They are hardy to U.S. Department of Agriculture zones 3a though 8b.
Plant: 3-6" (7.6-15 cm) high. Flowers: White flowers about ½" (1.3 cm) around. Flowers and berries usually rise above the leaves. Leaves: In groups of three; each leaflet is ½-2½" (1.5-6.3 cm) long. Fruit: Berries are usually red, sometimes white even when ripe, about ⅜" (1 cm) around. Achenes (which look like seeds) appear on the surface of the berry. Habitats: Moist woods Type: Wild EDIBILITY: Wild strawberries were the first variety to be cultivated and sold. They are delicious, much more flavorful than today’s cultivated varieties. Eat them raw, prepare jams, or use them anywhere you would use grocery store strawberries. The dried leaves make a tasty tea.
How to grow: 1. Place the packet of seeds in the freezer for four weeks. This will coax them out of dormancy. 2 Fill a seeding flat with moistened seed-starting mix and scatter the alpine strawberry seeds on the surface. Cover the seeds with 1/8 inch of sand. Use the misting bottle to lightly moisten the sand layer. 3 Cover the flat with plastic wrap and place it in an area with bright light, but out of direct sun, that remains between 65 and 75 degrees F. If you are using grow lights, place the tray 6 inches beneath the lights for 14 hours a day. 4 Check the soil periodically to make sure it remains moist. Spray the soil with water from the misting bottle, if necessary. 5 Remove the plastic wrap when the seeds have germinated and keep the seedlings in the same amount of light and at the same temperature. The seeds will generally not all germinate at the same time and can begin sprouting between one and six weeks. 6 Transplant the alpine strawberry seedlings two months after planting the seed. Use 4-inch pots and plant them in equal parts of potting soil and sand. Place them back in the bright room with temperatures between 65 and 75 degrees F. Keep the soil moist at all times. 7 Choose a spot in the garden in which to grow the strawberry plants when they have begun to fill the 4-inch pots. The site should be in full sun. 8 Spread a 3-inch layer of compost over the strawberry bed and use a gardening fork to mix it into the top 6 inches of soil. 9 Dig holes that are the same depth and twice the diameter of the planting pots. Remove the alpine strawberry plants from their pots and place the roots in the hole. When planted, the crown -- the point where the stem meets the roots -- should sit at soil level, so add or remove soil from the hole until it is at the proper depth. 10 Spread the roots out in the hole and then fill the hole with soil. Firm the soil around the base of the strawberry plants with your hands. 11 Water the alpine strawberry plants to a depth
