Description

The listing, ALPINE STRAWBERRY *40 MIGNONETTE* produces 1st year! has ended.

This listing is for 40 Alpine strawberry seeds. They are a French variety called Mignonette (Fragaria Vesca)
PRODUCES THE FIRST YEAR!
They are very flavorful, perfumed little deep red berries. forget about store bought. . . These beat 'em hands down. My kids love them.

They produce from spring to fall and are frosty hardy!
Not to mention that they are perennials and continue to produce for 3 or 4 years. They don't send out runners so they won't overtake your garden. They work well in containers.

Full sun to part shade
14 to 28 Days to germinate
Space 1 in apart and 1/4 in deep
Make sure you keep soil damp especially when sprouting.
6 to 8 in mature height
In spring, start indoors with strong light source. Maintain 60 to 70 degrees until sprouting. When 3" gradually acclimate to outside.

Renee's Garden is where I got the seeds.

I follow all Listia rules! Only a verified address sent within 7 days will be accepted. After that, auction will be relisted and credits forfeited. I don't want to do this. Please make sure you are verified BEFORE bidding! Good luck!

Here's a great site I found.
Zones 5 to 9

This is my first year from seed. my friend purchased some seeds from the same place and had great success. She said she treated then like regular strawberries and they were fine.
The seeds I planted all germinated. I did let them completely dry out and lost 2 of 9 seedlings but I think that's to be expected when you're so mean to them :P

I'm sure they would. I'm not sure if they are real heat sensitive but I don't see why they wouldn't. I'm going to check too! Thanks, fanned back!

Sounds great! Everything I read about them gave good reviews so I am very interested in trying them in my garden this spring!! Unfortunately, I am "9" credits short of even bidding as I have them all tied up on other bids or waiting for some to be released to me. Hope you will hold another auction soon. Or....we could trade if you are interested!! Thanks!
