Soak the roots in water for about an hour before planting. Dig a hole large enough to spread the roots, and set the plant so the crown (where the leaves emerge) is at soil level. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows or beds. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist during establishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eApply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the crown to prevent rot. Fertilize according to soil test recommendations, and remove runners if you want to encourage larger berries. In colder zones, provide winter protection with straw or row covers. With proper care, your Sparkle strawberries will reward you with a bountiful early summer harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e100 Sparkle Strawberry Plants (live bare root, June-bearing, non-GMO).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836016460086,"sku":"FOLIA2-1799","price":506.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.7226523166_o8dd.jpg?v=1793097320","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/100-sparkle-strawberry-plants-bare-root-june-bearing-non-gmo-fragaria-ananassa","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
