Not one seed germinated.

So sorry to hear that! Strawberry seeds need light to germinate, so it's important to just gently press them into the planting medium rather than covering. They can also be a little slow and can take anywhere from 2-6 weeks to emerge. We do germ test all of our seeds and to ensure we sell only top performing crops, we have established germination standards that are higher than prescribed by the Federal Seed Act. Our minimum germination standard for strawberries is 60% and the most recent test for this variety passed at 78%. As always, at Territorial our products are backed by our full guarantee. We want you, our customers, to be 100% satisfied with the seed, plants and supplies that you purchase from us. If anything you buy from Territorial proves to be unsatisfactory, we will either replace the item or refund the purchase price (for up to one year from date of purchase), whichever you prefer. Contact our customer service (Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM Pacific Time) at either 800-626-0866 or info@territorialseed.com

Took a while

Planted these little guys straight into a giant container and just waited. Teeny tiny leaves and no real growth for several months but right at end of autumn had a lovely plant with one blossom. 3 out of 10 seeds germinated. Its mild right now in here in the PNW and its still green and its little off shoots have rooted into nearby containers. I look forward to this years growth and hopefully some berries!

80% germination

Started the seeds in March. Just transplanted the starts now (June 2023). Hopefully they will accelerate their growth with our long days. Hopefully can update this post in September. Couldn't find in the description whether these are ever- or junebearing.

Summer Breeze Cherry Blossom is everbearing. Hope you continue to enjoy!

• June bearing: Produce berries over a 2-3 week period in early summer
• Everbearing: Produce berries consistently from late spring through fall
