Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

Red Wonder Wild strawberry is an alpine variety, producing sweet, aromatic berries that are perfect for fresh eating or culinary use. It grows best in well-drained, loamy soil enriched with organic matter. These compact, runnerless plants are ideal for containers, rock gardens, or small spaces and can handle part shade, especially in hot climates.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors about 8 weeks prior to the last frost in your area, or sow them outdoors in early spring after the last frost has passed. This variety is perennial and is best planted in spring in USDA zones 5-9​.

How to Sow and Plant

Surface sow, barely covering the seeds as they need light to germinate. The ideal germination soil temperature is around 65 F. Once the seedlings have 3 sets of true leaves, transplant them outside with about 8 inches between plants.

How to Grow

Strawberries need at least 6 hours of sunlight daily, though they can use afternoon shade in hotter climates. Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the base of the plants to retain moisture and prevent weeds.

How to Save

  • To save strawberry seeds, allow the fruit to become very ripe, then mash the fruit in a bowl and wash the pulp away through successive rinsing.
  • Spread seeds out on a paper plate to dry.
  • Strawberries are insect-pollinated, so alpine strawberries will cross between varieties. It is wise to grow just one variety at a time or isolate by at least 1/2 mile to prevent mixing.
  • Strawberry seed will remain viable for 2 or more years when stored properly, in cool, dry conditions.
