Albion Everbearing Strawberry Plants – 15 Bare Root, Zones 4-9

Albion Everbearing Strawberry Plants are a popular day-neutral variety known for producing large, sweet, and flavorful berries throughout the growing season. These plants are well-suited for home gardens, raised beds, and containers, offering a steady harvest from early summer into fall. With their vigorous growth and disease resistance, Albion strawberries are a reliable choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.

Albion strawberry plants feature dark green foliage and produce firm, conical berries that are excellent for fresh eating, desserts, and preserving. As an everbearing (day-neutral) type, they continue to set fruit regardless of day length, providing multiple harvests across the season. The plants are cold-hardy in USDA zones 4-9 and perform best in full sun with well-drained soil.

Planting & Care

Plant bare root strawberries 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 roots meet stems) is at soil level. Space plants 12-18 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil evenly moist during establishment. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds.

For ongoing care, provide consistent watering, especially during fruit production. Fertilize in early spring and again after the first harvest. Remove runners to encourage larger berries and better airflow. In colder zones, apply a layer of mulch in late fall to protect crowns from winter damage. Harvest berries when fully red and ripe for the best flavor.
