Soak the roots in water for 30-60 minutes before planting. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots and set the plant so the crown (where roots meet stems) is at soil level. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep the soil evenly moist during the growing season, especially while plants are establishing and during fruit development. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Remove runners to encourage larger berries, or allow them to root for new plants. In colder zones, apply a layer of mulch in late fall to protect crowns from winter injury. Renovate beds after harvest by removing old foliage and thinning plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e20 Earliglow Strawberry bare roots (Fragaria × ananassa).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67739754004790,"sku":"EDNA-216","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.8084618306_g2y7.jpg?v=1792115131","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/20-earliglow-strawberry-bare-roots-springbearing-fragaria-ananassa-plants-for-edible-berry-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
