20 Ogallala Everbearing Strawberry Bare Roots | Fragaria × ananassa Live Plants

Ogallala Everbearing Strawberry is a hardy, everbearing variety known for producing sweet, flavorful berries throughout the growing season. Unlike June-bearing types that fruit once, Ogallala offers multiple harvests from early summer into fall, making it a rewarding choice for home gardeners. The plants form compact, mounding clumps of dark green foliage with white blossoms that give way to bright red strawberries. They are well-suited for garden beds, raised planters, hanging baskets, and edible landscaping.

These live bare root strawberry plants arrive dormant and ready to plant. With proper care, they establish quickly and begin producing fruit in their first season. Ogallala is valued for its adaptability and reliable performance in a range of climates, making it a popular choice for berry gardens and fresh snacking.

Planting & Care

Plant bare roots as soon as possible after arrival. Soak roots in water for 30-60 minutes before planting. Dig a hole large enough to spread the roots, and set the plant so the crown (where leaves emerge) is at soil level. Backfill with soil, firm gently, and water thoroughly. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows or beds. For container growing, use a quality potting mix and ensure drainage.

Keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruiting. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly in early spring and again after the first harvest. Remove runners to encourage larger berries, or allow them to root for new plants. In cold climates, protect crowns with mulch over winter. Harvest berries when fully red and ripe for best flavor.
