Strawberry seeds: your start to a tasty harvest

Nothing evokes summer quite like a homegrown strawberry. Bright red, juicy, and bursting with aroma. A strawberry you've grown yourself always tastes better. With our strawberry seeds, you can bring that summer bliss into your home. Even if you have no gardening experience, this is a perfect start.

Why choose strawberry seeds?

Growing strawberries from seed is inexpensive, educational, and surprisingly easy. You'll experience the entire growing process: from seedling to harvest. This will give you a better understanding of the growth rhythm of plants. And a greater sense of satisfaction when you finally pick that first ripe fruit.

Moreover, seeds are cheaper than plants. You grow exactly as many plants as you want, and you control the growing conditions. This way, you start sustainably and responsibly. Strawberry seeds are also ideal for those who enjoy experimenting with varieties and flavors.

The right place for your strawberries

Strawberries love sun. So choose a spot with at least six hours of sunlight per day. This can be a small garden, but a balcony, roof terrace, or greenhouse also work well. As long as the plants are warm, have good drainage, and the roots have room to develop, they'll thrive.

Preferably use airy, nutrient-rich soil. Potting soil enriched with compost works well. If you're planting in pots or containers, make sure there's enough space: about 25 to 30 cm per plant is ideal.

When do you sow strawberry seeds?

Strawberry seeds are best sown indoors in February or March. The seeds are small and require a little patience: germination takes an average of 2 to 4 weeks. Keep the soil constantly slightly moist and place the container in a warm, bright spot.

After the Ice Saints, in mid-May, the young plants can go outside. From then on, they grow quickly, and you can enjoy the first strawberries in summer – depending on the variety.

Which types do you choose?

Plukkers offers a wide selection of strawberry seeds for every type of gardener. Looking for a robust variety for pots? Or perhaps a variety with a long harvest period? Here are some of our top picks:

• Strawberries 'Grandian' F1' : very productive variety that produces large, sweet strawberries.

Tips for a rich strawberry harvest

• Remove suckers regularly so that the plant puts its energy into the fruits.
• Water regularly, especially during flowering and fruiting.
• Mulch the soil with straw or wood chips: this retains moisture and prevents mold.
• Harvest ripe strawberries immediately to encourage new flowering.
