100 Sparkle Strawberry Plants Bare Root June-Bearing Non-GMO Fragaria × ananassa
Sparkle Strawberry Plants are a popular June-bearing variety known for producing sweet, flavorful berries in early summer. These live bare root plants are ready to establish in your garden, raised bed, or edible landscape. With their classic strawberry appearance and reliable growth habit, Sparkle strawberries are a favorite for fresh eating, desserts, and preserving.
As a June-bearing type, Sparkle strawberries produce one main crop per season, typically in late spring to early summer. The plants form compact, productive clumps and develop white blossoms that attract pollinators before the fruit sets. Whether you are planting a dedicated strawberry patch or adding them to a mixed fruit garden, these bare root plants offer a practical way to start or expand your strawberry harvest.

Planting & Care
Plant bare root strawberries in early spring or fall when the soil is workable. 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.
Apply 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.
