Most if not all of the seeds came up. After getting poor results with seeds from other places, I planted all the seeds in 9 different pots and was amazed when seemingly all of them grew! If I had known they would come up this well I would have saved some for later and avoided having to thin the seedlings as much (I always regret having to kill off plants due to using too many seeds -- especially since each pot looks like a thickly populated chia pet). Next time I want to plant strawberries I definitely plan on getting these seeds and using as few as possible in each pot (strawberry seeds are tiny, I'll aim for 3-5, but if I get 10 or so there are so many that it won't be a disaster)!

I had a germination rate of about 66% with these seeds. The packet comes with ~250, so you can afford that relatively low rate without much annoyance.
My seedlings are thriving so far, but they're growing indoors, so i'm not sure if they'll ever fruit.

I have 2 aerogardens I am using to cultivate these beautiful berry plants. Germination took place between 3-10 days in the Aerogarden and the plants are doing very well. The nicest one so far I planted in an Aerogarden 3 at the end of January. It has since been transplanted to soil and is about 8 inches tall, 4 inches wide at the base with large, healthy leaves which spread out over a foot in diameter and it has produced one blossom already. There are 5 others I planted just last week and they are all sprouted, the biggest one being about 1 inch tall already with 2 sets of leaves. In all I have 9 plants from this seed packet and am pleased. They seem hardy enough and have been happy with just the regular herb aerogarden nutrients. One has even bounced back from having its roots torn during transplantation from my AG6 to the 3.

After receiving these seeds I planted 10 seeds indoors in a potting soil mix, not seed starting. 4 seeds germinated in 2-3 weeks but after thinning I only have 2. They are doing very well and are growing their second set of true leaves in a window sill.
Unfortunately after moving the germinated ones my cats decided the heating pad was a comfortable place to lay. The remaining had to be discarded when they were discovered. I have planted more seeds in alternative pot styles and I'm trying a "Flat" and several little pots.

I planted a couple of envelopes outdoors, only two seeds sprouted and are now struggling to survive.
