10 Monterey Strawberry Plants Live Bare Root Everbearing Non-GMO Fragaria × ananassa

Monterey Strawberry Plants are a popular everbearing variety known for producing sweet, flavorful berries across a long season. These live bare root plants arrive ready to establish in garden beds, containers, or raised beds, making them a practical choice for home fruit growers. With their vigorous growth and reliable fruit set, Monterey strawberries are well suited to fresh eating, baking, and preserving.

As an everbearing type, Monterey strawberries typically produce fruit in cycles from late spring through fall, offering multiple harvests in a single growing season. The plants form compact, productive clumps with green foliage and white blossoms that attract pollinators. Whether planted in a dedicated strawberry patch or mixed into a sunny border, these bare root plants offer a rewarding way to grow your own fruit.

Planting & Care

Plant bare root strawberries as soon as possible after arrival. Soak the roots in water for 30–60 minutes before planting. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Dig a hole large enough to spread the roots, set the plant so the crown is at soil level, and firm the soil around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during establishment.

Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the crown to prevent rot. Water regularly, especially during dry spells and fruiting periods. Remove runners if you want to encourage larger berries, or allow them to root for new plants. Fertilize lightly in early spring and again after the first harvest. In colder zones, provide winter protection with straw or row covers.
