These Chandler strawberries are for the south and they are only annuals - according to Texas A&M, they are perfect for the south and the perennials do very poorly here and are not recommended to grow. Do you know if there is such a thing as strawberry seed to get from strawberries to plant the next year? I don’t have a clue if that can be done.

Not to intrude, but I discovered quite by accident that the seeds on the strawberry will germinate. Some years back, before I started my own strawberry patch, I tossed the stems I had just cleaned in a flower pot. The next year I had a flower pot full of strawberry plants.

So I still dump my stems in flower pots just to have continuous supply of new plants, because there are always some seeds from the process of stemming.

Oh wow, I don’t know. Never knew there were strawberry annuals. The regular ones have runners, and you just kinda stick the runners into the ground or another pot to get a start.
