Fragaria vesca


Anyone know how to grow alpine strawberries? Supposedly if you know what you're doing you can grow them from seed. But I don't know what I'm doing. I understand that they taste much more like a strawberry than a standard strawberry does. In Russian they're even called by a separate word - землянка.

Nope. There's no chance in Michigan that I could keep them alive down here anyway.

We grow strawberries here but the recent freeze killed them all.  So who knows!

I imagine culture for Alpine Strawberries is a lot like regular ones, if not easier, since Alpines are wild, aren't they?  I've never looked to buy them... do you have a source?

Is fragaria vesca like the scientific name? It sounds so... latin... almost as if it is Roman...

Yes cat, you are right. It is the scientific name.

Make sure you don't ask for Fresca Viagra, or something.

They are supposed to be easier to grow. I'll look up the URL I had and post it later.
