Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs

Growing Tips

The Yellow Wonder wild strawberry grows best in well-drained soil with a slightly acidic pH (6.5-6.8) and does well in full sun, though it can use afternoon shade in hotter climates. These strawberries are ideal for containers or small garden spaces due to their compact, runnerless growth​.

When to Grow

Start seeds indoors in early spring, about 8 weeks before the last frost, and transplant after the danger of frost has passed. You can also sow seeds outdoors once the weather warms up, but starting indoors often results in fruiting within the first year​.

How to Sow and Plant

Sow seeds on the surface of the soil without covering them, as they need light to germinate. Keep the soil consistently moist and maintain a temperature of 60-75 F. Transplant seedlings outdoors once they have several leaves, spacing plants about 8 inches apart​.

How to Grow

Provide at least 6 hours of sunlight daily, and water regularly, especially during flowering and fruiting. Mulching helps retain moisture and prevents the berries from touching the soil. Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer for optimal growth. The plants can tolerate light frost but should be protected in extreme conditions​.

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.
