Strawberry Seeds, Organic Alpine Strawberry Alexandria, Sweet Fruit Plant - 425 Pcs (Pack of 5)
High yielding repair grade of alpine strawberry. The fruits of this variety are the largest among the alpine strawberries. The berries are bright red, fragrant, weighing 5-8 g, have very good taste qualities and have a high content of vitamins and trace elements. They are indispensable for fresh consumption and preparation of original desserts. Yields can be harvested in spring and until mid-autumn, until frost. Strawberry Alexandria is well suited for growing in pots on a window sill or balcony.
PLANTING (SEEDS):
Sow seeds thinly in March or April in a fine soilless mix. Press seeds into moist mix and keep moist until plants emerge in 2-3 weeks. Keep soil temperature between 60°F (16°C) and 75°F (24°C), if possible. Transplant to plug trays or 1-1 1/2" apart in flats, then to larger pots or planters for retailing full-size plants: 1 plant/3-4" pot; 3-5 plants/8" pot. Transplant outdoors anytime, 1' apart.
HARVEST:
Plants will set fruit from midsummer through October. Production and berry size may decline during the hottest part of summer. Day-neutral beds will last for one to two growing seasons once established. Do not renovate day-neutral varieties.
NOTES:
Encourage the plant to put its energy into becoming established by removing all the flower buds for the first 6 weeks after setting out your plants. We also recommend that you remove all the runners during the first year.
SPECS: 100 plants/100' row, or 14,520 plants/acre at 12" spacing, rows 3' apart.
