Strawberry Baron Solemacher Seeds
$3.90
Unit price perFragaria vesca
Baron Solemacher is a classic alpine strawberry producing small, deep red fruits with an intensely sweet flavour and rich strawberry fragrance. The berries may be smaller than modern garden strawberries, but are prized for their concentrated flavour and aroma.
A German alpine variety introduced in the 1930s, Baron Solemacher is a selection of the European woodland strawberry, Fragaria vesca. Plants form compact clumps rather than producing masses of runners, making them particularly useful for garden borders, containers and small spaces.
Hardy and well suited to cooler climates, plants can crop over an extended period once established. The aromatic fruits are excellent eaten fresh and are also suited to desserts, preserves and garnishes.
Approximately 75 seeds per packet.

Planting / Sowing
Sow very shallowly onto moist seed-raising mix, pressing the fine seed gently onto the surface with little or no covering. Keep consistently moist and in a bright position until germination, which can be slow and irregular.
Transplant seedlings once large enough to handle, spacing plants approximately 20–30 cm apart in fertile, well-drained soil. Grow in full sun in cooler climates or provide some afternoon protection in warmer areas. Keep evenly watered during flowering and fruiting.
