Planting & Care

Plant bare root strawberries 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 is at soil level. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Apply mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Remove runners to encourage larger berries, and renovate beds after harvest by mowing leaves and thinning plants.

For best results, plant in a location with full sun and good air circulation. Fertilize in early spring and again after harvest. Protect from frost in late spring to avoid flower damage.
