How to Plant

1. Start Indoors

Sow seeds indoors about 8 weeks before the last expected frost using a fine, well-draining seed-starting mix.

2. Surface Sow

Press the seeds gently onto the soil surface. Do not bury deeply, as strawberry seeds benefit from light during germination.

3. Keep Moist

Mist gently and keep the growing medium consistently moist but not waterlogged.

4. Provide Warmth and Light

Maintain temperatures around 60–75°F and provide bright light once seedlings emerge.

5. Transplant

Move seedlings into containers or the garden after they are well established and outdoor conditions are suitable. Space plants about 8 inches apart.

Growing Tips

• Keep the seed-starting mix evenly moist during germination.
• Avoid burying seeds too deeply.
• Provide bright light after germination.
• Use fertile, well-draining soil enriched with organic matter.
• Mulch established plants to retain moisture and keep fruit clean.
