So Sweet Review by Unknown
Overall Rating
Produces better every year. They have come back for three years now. At first my husband didn't think much of them because "they're smaller than the strawberries". Now he likes them so well I had to move some to the patio. Hardy plants. Sweet berries..

Red Wonder Wild Strawberry Review by courtney
Overall Rating
In the past i've failed at growing pre-grown strawberry plants.
when i planted these seeds it took longer than i'd expected for them to germinate. however i got over 45 plants out of 1 packet. They grow best in cool temperatures with about 6 hours of light a day. now the plants are starting to spread out, i don't know what i'm going to do with all of them!.

Couldn't get them to grow well Review by Josh
Overall Rating
I bought these along with several other seed packets this year. Everything had a germination rate of 95-100%, with the exception of these. The few that did come up were very small, and didn't grow much. I don't know if it was my motting mixture or what. I've work in horticulture for over fifteen years, and never had this happen before. I have some seeds left, so maybe I'll give it another shot..

Not in Haiti Review by Natasha
Overall Rating
These absolutely refused to grow for me in Haiti, even in shade, even in the cool season :-( I'm a new gardener, so there could be lots of reasons why I'm sure. I have been told strawberries grow on the island up in the mountains but apparently, not on the flatlands.

Good germination on paper towels Review by Erin Zone 7a
Overall Rating
I just got an order of both red and yellow wonder about 3 weeks ago. Good germination rate. I use the paper towel method to germinate the seeds. Fold paper towel into four, wet and wring out so some moisture still there. Sprinkle seeds on paper towel and put in zip lock bag. It took about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks to germinate. To get your seedlings from the paper towel into your transplant area (mine is inside in starter soil), carefully cut around the seedling, put paper towel and all into soil and keep moist. Mine are doing beauifully in my south facing window..

Like a mouthful of happiness! Review by amethystkittie
Overall Rating
I don't like store strawberries and got these for the DH. Imagine ,y happy delight when I found out how good they are. We planted in a container, since I had never grown them before I just plopped all the plants that came up in one. They grew well although I wonder if I couldn't improve the yield somehow. We got several but not tons. This winter was mild, so I shall see if they come back. .

Even better the second year Review by Becca in Kansas zone 6a
Overall Rating
I decided to grow these after going on a hike with cub scouts and seeing tiny wild strawberry plants in a wooded area in the park. I started these seeds 2 years ago in the ground. (I didn't start seeds inside that year due to having a newborn.) I got several small plants and while we got lots of flowers my toddler picked almost all of them. I think we had maybe 5 strawberries at the very end of the season but they were delicious. The second year we got quite a bit more fruit as I was more diligent in keeping someone from picking all the flowers. This is year 3 and we already have blooms on the plants that weathered both a really cold snowy and a mild winter now. I will actually be transferring the plants as well as the 8 more that are starting now to a bed with perennial herbs since I know they are going to make it a while. Also, the fruit seemed to get over ripe very easily. Like one day they would be green and 2 days later they would be over ripe and food for the bugs. Definitely need to check the plants daily..
