Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successful growing strawberries begins with proper planting and consistent care. These bare root strawberries require attention to detail, but with the right approach, they will reward you with abundant fruit. Upon arrival, soak the bare roots in water for 20-30 minutes before planting. When planting, ensure the crown of the plant (where the leaves emerge from the roots) is set precisely at soil level. Planting too deep or too shallow can hinder growth. Space individual plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for adequate air circulation and growth, especially important for maximizing the yield of your everbearing strawberry plants.

Strawberry plants thrive in full sun, meaning they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. They prefer well-draining, slightly acidic soil rich in organic matter. Maintain evenly moist soil throughout the growing season, especially when plants are flowering and fruiting. Avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. For the first season, it’s beneficial to remove any flowers that appear to encourage the plants to put their energy into developing a strong root system. This practice, though it delays the initial harvest, significantly improves future yields and ensures a more robust crop of high yield strawberries in subsequent seasons. These plants are hardy in USDA Zones 4-8, offering good cold tolerance.

Fertilize your strawberry patch with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again after the main harvest. Watch for common pests like slugs and birds, and consider using netting or other deterrents to protect your precious berries. With consistent care, these everbearing strawberry plants will provide you with delicious fruit for many years.

Size & Details

This offering includes 10 everbearing strawberry plants, provided as bare root specimens. Bare root plants are dormant, meaning they are shipped without soil around their roots, which allows for easier and more economical transport. This method also encourages rapid establishment once planted, as the roots immediately begin to seek out moisture and nutrients in their new environment. Each plant is a robust starter, ready to be planted directly into your garden. While specific dimensions vary, these plants are typically compact growers, reaching an average height of 6-10 inches and spreading 10-12 inches wide at maturity.

Expect your bare root strawberries to begin producing fruit in their first season, especially if flowers are allowed to develop after the initial root strengthening period. The continuous fruiting habit means you’ll enjoy berries throughout the summer and into the fall. These plants are known for their medium-sized, conical berries that are both sweet and firm, ideal for a wide range of uses. They are an excellent choice for a productive and beautiful addition to your edible landscape.
