Growing Strawberry Fragissimo

• Strawberry Fragissimo seeds need to be cold treated to encourage germination.
• Simply wrap your seeds, put them in an airtight container, and place them in a freezer.
• This simulates winter conditions, and the warming period lets the seed know it is time to come to life.
• After keeping the strawberry seeds below freezing for two to four weeks, remove the seeds from the freezer.
• Leave them in the jar or container as they gradually warm up to room temperature.
• Once your strawberry seeds are at room temperature they are ready to be planted.
• A good mix for starting strawberry seeds is 3 parts peat to 1 part organic-rich soil.
• Spread this out in your seed tray to a depth of about one half of an inch.
• Moisten the mixture with water until it is uniformly damp. Sprinkle your strawberry seeds over the damp mixture and then cover the seeds with a very thin dusting of peat moss.
• Ensure that the strawberry seeds are not completely covered and are exposed to light.
• Keep them indoors in a well-lighted room and in direct sunlight, if possible. In two to three weeks, the strawberry seeds should germinate.
• If the strawberry seeds sprout too close to each other, thin them when they are between 1 and 2 inches tall, keeping the biggest and most vigorous seedlings.
• Gently transfer the strawberry seedlings to larger containers or pots after they gain their 3rd leaves.
