Yes. You can plant alpine strawberries straight from the pack and get good germination.

Lon,
Thanks for your help! I sure appreciate it. I had put the seeds in the frig in dampened soil-less mix, and was waiting to hear answers, so now I can put them under my grow lights, I assume?

I've grown Alpine strawberries without any cold treatment. Just sow them in a flat and keep a sheet of glass over the top to hold in moisture until they are up . Prepare the soil by tamping it flat, sprinkle seed over it, sprinkle a thin layer of peat and tamp that smooth. Mist it to water it down, and put the glass over it. When the seedlings have their first true leaves, start transplanting them to individual pots.

Hi,
I ordered some seeds of alpine strawberries (ruegen) and the package said to use cold treatment; however, it did not say how long. Does anyone know, or where I could find the info? If you have any other info about propagating these seeds, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
