Organic OP Yellow Wonder Alpine Strawberry Perennial 15 seeds super sweet - $7 - (Hawkesbury, ON)

Yellow wonder alpine 15+ seeds per packageAlpine strawberries are just about the most perfect patio plant you could hope for. Green, lush, prolific, and full of melt-in-your-mouth berries bursting with a flavor that’s hard to pin down. I liken them to cotton candy, but with added notes of pineapple and rose. They’re complex and intensely aromatic. They’re full of sweetness and lack the tartness of commercially grown strawberries which, in my opinion, prove that bigger is not always better.Unlike conventional strawberries, which love to spread, most cultivated alpine strawberries don’t sprout runners. Where you plant them is where they’ll stay, making them ideal for small spaces such as balconies and borders.They concentrate all of their energy into their fruits, which also grow smaller than cultivated market varieties — no more than an inch long with pointed ends, and almost conical in shape. The plant itself is a compact perennial, growing 8 to 10 inches tall with bright green foliage and delicate white flowers.Alpine strawberry plants are everbearing, meaning they fruit in spring and keep producing until frost. Strawberry plants are perennials. They grow year after year but fruit production starts to decline with age, so they should be replaced every five years or so. If you’re growing them for fruit, treat them like a crop: the more space or larger container you give them, the more productive they’ll be.3-4 weeks stratification required instructions with purchase60% germination all my seed come in reusable zip lock bags and planting instructionsplease note if you order more than one of these they will be packaged together in on package unless otherwise requested.
