 Alpine strawberry seeds are carried by most seed companies and can also be 
 found in many garden center seed racks. They are not difficult to grow, have 
 good germination rates and can be planted along fence lines or even along 
 hedges and walkways if space is at a premium. While there are limited 
sources 
 for the plants in the US, that is not a problem since seed is readily 
 available. Try Pine Tree, Nichols, Agway garden centers, Lowes, Burpees, etc.

    Hummmm--I seem to recall that germination is improved by a period of 
cold, from the last time I was trying to find space to plant some. Or am I 
confusing my plants again? ;-) BTW. I actually did find a few plants 
available at a good nursery a few years ago. They didn't fare well where I 
had them--probably too shady--but the few berries I got were yummy!
