50 Honeoye Strawberry Plants – Live Bare Root June Bearing Fragaria × ananassa

Honeoye Strawberry Plants are a popular June-bearing variety known for their vigorous growth and reliable production of bright red, flavorful berries. This early-midseason strawberry ripens its fruit in a concentrated harvest window, making it a favorite for fresh eating, freezing, and preserving. The plants are cold-hardy and perform well in a range of climates, thriving in full sun and well-drained soil.

Whether you are planting a dedicated strawberry bed, adding to a raised bed, or incorporating into a home garden, Honeoye offers strong garden appeal with its productive nature and attractive foliage. The berries are medium to large, with a classic strawberry shape and sweet-tart flavor that is excellent fresh or in desserts.

Planting & Care

Plant bare root strawberries as soon as possible after arrival. Soak the roots in water for 30–60 minutes before planting. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to spread the roots, and set the plant so the crown (where roots meet stems) is at or slightly above soil level. Space plants 12–18 inches apart in rows 3–4 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist during establishment.

Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring and again after harvest. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Remove runners to encourage fruit production, or allow some to root for new plants. In colder zones, apply a winter mulch after the ground freezes to protect crowns.
