10 Ozark Strawberry Plants Live Bare Root Everbearing Fragaria × ananassa Garden Fruit

Ozark 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 the garden, raised bed, or container, and they are an excellent choice for home growers who want fresh strawberries from their own backyard. With their compact growth habit and reliable performance, Ozark strawberries add both productivity and charm to edible landscapes.

Grown as a perennial fruit plant, Ozark strawberries are valued for their ability to produce fruit in cycles throughout the growing season rather than in a single harvest window. The plants form low, spreading clumps of green foliage and white blossoms that develop into bright red berries. They work well in kitchen gardens, border plantings, and patio containers, and they can be grown in many regions with proper care.

Planting & Care

Plant bare root strawberries as soon as possible after arrival. Soak the roots briefly before planting, then set them in a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, position the crown at soil level, and firm the soil around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting to help settle the soil and support establishment.

Keep the soil evenly moist during the first few weeks, then water regularly during dry spells. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, and remove runners if you want to encourage larger fruit production. In cold climates, apply a layer of mulch in late fall to protect crowns over winter. With proper care, these plants can establish and produce fruit in the first season.
