Planting & Care

Plant bare root strawberry plants in early spring or fall when the soil is workable. Soak the roots in water for 1-2 hours before planting. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate 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 3-4 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilize with a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after harvest. Remove runners to encourage fruit production, or allow them to root for new plants. In colder zones, apply a layer of mulch over plants in winter to protect crowns from freezing.
