Don’t let the tiny size of Fresca strawberry seeds fool you—these miniature seeds grow into vigorous plants that produce big, juicy, classic-tasting strawberries. Fresca is an everbearing variety, meaning plants flower and fruit repeatedly over a long season, especially when berries are harvested regularly.
Seeds should be started indoors during winter and transplanted outdoors after the danger of frost has passed. While first-year harvests may be light, plants quickly establish into spreading, productive growers that deliver generous yields in the seasons that follow. For fruit in the first year, start seeds very early—ideally in December or January—and grow seedlings under bright artificial light.
Fresca strawberries are well suited to containers, raised beds, and hanging baskets, making them a versatile choice for both small spaces and traditional gardens.
