I rate those now because by the time the plants come up, my rights will expire. I received those seeds and think they will work. I will try what my previous rater suggested. Also, I read up about them and decided to throw them in the freezer for three weeks before putting them in the starter mix. Will keep you posted. . .

These seeds are really hard to grow. I did get one so far its doing well now. Slow to grow and needs lots of care. Do not follow the directions given I lost half the seeds that way. So I put the rest in shallow sandy dirt in a shady place. It took weeks but 1 grew now I’m waiting to see how long the fruit takes to grow. Strawberries are hard to start with soil, weather, water all have to be right. Starting with a well grown plant instead of seeds is best. After the plant gets used to your soil it will seed itself and spread over time. I have one plant now from these seeds with care I hope in 3 seasons I will have a patch.

I followed the directions with these seeds, as i did with the other seeds i got from Hirt’s. The other seeds germinated within days. Weeks later, still not a single green spot in my strawberry patch. Frustrated, i searched the internet and discovered that the standard planting suggestions are nearly the opposite of what Hirt’s gave me.
Hirt’s suggested a well lit, warm, humid environment. Everyone else said that alpine strawberries prefer to germinate in cool, dark environments. So i removed the strawberries from my mini-greenhouse and tucked them in a dark corner. Several days later, at least 5 of the seeds germinated (and lest anyone argue that it was just a time issue, i left some of the pots in the greenhouse as well, just in case, and they’re still just dirt).
So, the short version is this: the seeds are good, and do sprout, as long as you don’t pay attention to the information that comes in the packet.
