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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlbion strawberry plants feature dark green foliage and produce firm, conical berries that are excellent for fresh eating, desserts, and preserving.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e15 bare root Albion everbearing strawberry plants.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67836025438518,"sku":"FOLIA2-1916","price":94.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6584126680_j886.jpg?v=1793097513","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/albion-everbearing-strawberry-plants-15-bare-root-zones-4-9","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
