Imported Pack: "Morango" (Fragaria vesca) is a perennial herbaceous plant with trifoliate leaves and clusters of small white flowers. Its fruit, typically bright red and intensely sweet, is prized for culinary use in jams, desserts, and fresh consumption, rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. Propagated via seeds or runners, morango thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic soil and partial to full sun. Popular varieties like 'Alpine' and 'Mignonette' offer varying fruit sizes and flavors, making it a versatile choice for gardens, containers, or even hanging baskets, providing both aesthetic charm and nutritional benefits.
Morango can be propagated by seeds, though it's more commonly propagated vegetatively through stolons or runners. Plant the seeds in fine, moist soil (peat is recommended) and lightly cover with a thin layer (3mm). Provide warm and humid conditions. When 4-5 leaves form, trim and transplant to their final location in the fall.
