Description
Wild strawberry, but twice as big. Regina is a large-fruited wild strawberry variety that produces fruits twice as large as typical wild strawberries – up to 6 g each. The taste and aroma of classic woodland wild strawberry, but in a size that makes sense for home harvesting. Bonus: it does not produce runners, so it does not spread across the bed.
In brief
- Type: large-fruited wild strawberry, runnerless
- Height: approx. 20 cm
- Fruits: red, up to 6 g (2× more than typical wild strawberry)
- Sowing under cover: March – April
- Fruiting: June – September (already in the year of sowing!)
- Position: sunny or partial shade
- Difficulty: medium – long time from sowing to harvest
- Net weight: 0.1 g
What distinguishes this variety
Regina stands out with three features: it does not produce runners (grows in compact clumps, does not spread), fruit size (2× larger than other wild strawberry varieties), and the fact that it fruits in the year of sowing – if you sow in March, you harvest the first fruits in July. Subsequent years: consistent fruiting from June to October.
Cultivation step by step
Sowing (March – April, under cover): wild strawberry seeds are very small – sow them on the surface (barely covered) to a maximum depth of 0.5 cm. Temperature 16–20°C, high humidity. Germination after 14–20 days.
Pricking out: seedlings at the 4–6 leaf stage are transplanted into separate pots or into the bed. Patience – seedlings grow slowly, the first weeks look like nothing is happening.
Planting (spring – autumn): into the ground or pots (min. 3 l) spaced 40–50 cm apart. Sunny or partially shaded position, light, acidic soil (pH 5.5–6), humus-rich.
Care: regular watering, mulching with peat or bark (retains moisture and acidity). Fertilize every 2–3 weeks with strawberry fertilizer. Perennial plants – sow once only.
Usage
Classically: for dessert – fresh wild strawberries with whipped cream and a bit of sugar. Great for jams (stronger aroma than garden strawberries), for smoothies, for cake decoration. Leaves (young, fresh) are perfect for herbal tea – they have a slightly fruity taste and support digestion. A pot with wild strawberries on the balcony is also a good idea for aesthetic reasons.
Gardener's tip
Regina is non-runner, so it cannot be propagated by runner cuttings like typical strawberries. After 3–4 years, plants lose vigor – it is then worth collecting seeds from ripe fruits (dried and stored in the fridge for 1–2 months they germinate well). Or simply sow a new pack – 0.1 g is enough material for years.
