63Strawberry Flowers - What are they?
Strawberry Flowers, to put it simply, are the bloom of Strawberry plants.
The flowers of the Strawberry Plant typically bloom in the mid-summer, typically June or so. These flowers have captured the hearts of gardeners - amateurs and pros everywhere.
Different types of strawberries give differing results, however, it's the kind that bloom in June that we're after. Those are the most beautiful to look at and are the main reason (other than the delicious taste of the strawberries themselves) gardeners choose this specific seed.
Unless you've seen a Strawberry Flower up close, it's hard to envisage their beauty. Especially when you have rows upon rows of them in your garden. You'll be the envy of all your neighbors!
The Life of a Strawberry Flower
Strawberry flowers start their life in the crown of the plant as tiny buds several weeks after the harvest. To get beautiful flowers, it's critical that the berry plant be well-tended, especially water all throughout the fall and winter. If it can't find enough water during its formative growth, it will produce fewer of these buds, meaning less strawberry flowers for your admiration (and less strawberries overall).
