17 Jun 17, Maurice (Australia - temperate climate): PLEASE don't buy strawberry seeds from ebay. So Many are fake (black or blue strawberries do not exist) and you do not get what you pay for.

06 Mar 14, Demxi (Australia - tropical climate): Can strawberries grow in the Philippines? Our temperature can reach 30+ Celsius in the afternoon. If we can, can they survive here? Or should i grow them indoors?

02 Mar 14, Katherine (Australia - temperate climate): Hello, I might be daft, but are you saying to plant strawberry seeds in the coldest months of the year here? If so, then perhaps that is why the last lot did not germinate when planted in Autumn. Thank you.

19 Jun 14, Glen (Australia - tropical climate): Katherine, strawberry seed needs to be stratified i.e. place in freezer for 4 weeks remove to room temp for a couple hours and then take the general advise for sowing in this site and you should be fine..........
