INTRODUCING WILD STRAWBERRY SEEDS

Wild Strawberry (Fragaria vesca) is a perennial fruiting plant. Wild strawberries are grown successfully in USDA hardiness zones 3 to 10. This plant usually grows 4 to 8 inches in height, spreading out. It produces white flowers that eventually develop into distinctive red berries.

PLANTING WILD STRAWBERRY SEEDS

Sow Wild Strawberry seeds indoors eight weeks before the last frost. Cover the seeds lightly with soil, and keep the soil moist. Make sure the temperature is in the range of 65 to 75 degrees F, and germination will start in 1 to 2 weeks. When the seedlings form a second set of true leaves, you may transplant them outside. Find a good location in the garden or even allow this pretty plant to be used as groundcover. These plants will spread by rhizome, so space the plants 12-18 inches apart.

MAINTAINING A WILD STRAWBERRY PLANT

Once rooted well, Wild Strawberry plants will be easy to care for. Water them regularly. Make sure the soil remains moist consistently. To keep the weeds away and retain water in the soil, add mulch around the plants. This plant benefits from organic matter in the soil. Harvest berries when they are fully red and ripe.

Growing Wild Strawberries in your garden provides unique fruit every year. They are great fresh. Or, they can be used in culinary preparations. Jams and jellies, salads and desserts - these berries add a burst of flavor to all sorts of dishes. Enjoy the charm of Wild Strawberries this season, and for many to come!

Frequently Asked Questions

What are heirloom seeds?

Heirloom seeds are the types of seeds your grandparents grew. These varieties have been passed down from generation to generation. They’re old reliable open-pollinated varieties that aren’t typically grown commercially. Instead, they have a rich history that predates modern breeding techniques. You can learn more about open-pollinated, heirloom, and non-GMO seeds in our Survival Garden Training blog.

How do I know my seeds are fresh?

Every seed packet includes a "packed for" date, and we germination test each seed lot before packaging to ensure you receive viable, high-quality seeds that are ready to grow.

Are your seeds chemically treated?

No, we do not pre-treat our seeds. All of our garden seeds are untreated, open-pollinated, non-GMO, and heirloom varieties. They are kept in temperature-controlled cooler storage until they are packed and shipped to keep them pest and disease-free.

Will your seeds grow in my USDA Hardiness zone?

The seeds in our collections are specifically chosen from varieties that can be successfully grown from Zone 3 to Zone 10 USDA Hardiness Zones. However, individual varieties have specific needs to thrive in different environments. Each seed pack has optimal temperatures for germination and instructions on seed starting. Consult local frost dates to plan your garden and get the most out of your seeds.

What is the shelf life of these garden seeds?

Most seeds remain viable for 3 to 5 years or longer when stored properly. Check your seed packet for specific varieties. For best results, keep your seeds in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Store them in an airtight container in a consistent temperature environment—a refrigerator or cool basement works well. Proper storage helps maintain germination rates and extends seed life well beyond the packed date.

Where are Survival Garden Seeds sourced?

The majority of our seeds are sourced in the United States, with a few exceptions when the seed is difficult to source domestically. Whenever we do have to source outside of the US, we ensure our seeds are safe to grow, non-GMO, heirloom varieties that meet our standards for germination and reliability.
