Summer Breeze Cherry Blossom Strawberry

Absolutely Gorgeous!

This is my first time growing any strawberry (other than alpine) from seed. I'm in zone 9A and started them indoors in mid December. Transplanted them on March 1st. Out of 10 seeds, I got 2 plants and they both started flowering immediately after transplanting. So, they definitely have the ability to produce fruit in the first year. The blooms are so beautiful. The picture is the first bloom from March 7th, six days after transplant. Today is March 14 and there are 3 blooms on each plant. Needless to say, I'm very happy and will grow this variety again. I haven't even yet tasted the first strawberry and I'm clearly a fan. Thank you for offering this one, Territorial!

Seeds seem to be getting bigger and look like to begin sprouting in a few more days!

A long road to happiness

I am 30 years experienced at growing alpine strawberries from seed so I took it for granted that these strawberries would be a cinch. Not so. My first pack of 10 seeds resulted in 1 plant that grew white/double petal flowers. So I purchased the larger pk of 30 seeds. By that time the garden was in full swing and I didn't have time to mess with seed starting so I sprinkled the seeds in a few places in the garden. The next spring I kept wondering where these different type of strawberries came from. Fast forward to this year and last month I had my first DARK PINK (fading to light pink) strawberry blossom. I was shocked to see I finally had what I wanted. Today (6-17-25) I picked a very large strawberry! The taste isn't quite as sugar sweet as my other varieties but it has twice the strawberry flavor. I couldn't be more pleased. Thanks Territorial for working with me when it didn't work out the first time.
