Camarosa Strawberry Plants | 10 Live Bare Root June-Bearing Fragaria × ananassa

Camarosa strawberry plants are a popular June-bearing variety known for producing large, firm, flavorful berries with excellent color. This variety is widely grown in home gardens and commercial fields for its reliable yields and attractive fruit. The plants form compact, mounding clumps of dark green foliage and produce white flowers in spring, followed by a concentrated harvest in early summer. Camarosa strawberries are well-suited for fresh eating, freezing, and preserving, and they perform well in garden beds, raised planters, and containers.

These live bare root plants are shipped in a dormant state, ready to be planted and established in the garden. With proper care, they will develop into productive strawberry plants that return year after year when grown as perennials in suitable climates.

Planting & Care

Plant bare root strawberries as soon as possible after receiving them. Soak the roots in water for 30–60 minutes before planting. Choose a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots and set the plant so the crown (where roots meet stems) is at soil level. Backfill and firm the soil, then water thoroughly. Space plants 12–18 inches apart in rows or beds.

Keep the soil evenly moist during establishment and throughout the growing season. Mulch around plants to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Remove runners to encourage larger berry production, or allow them to root for new plants. In colder regions, apply a layer of mulch in late fall to protect crowns over winter. Fertilize in early spring before new growth begins.
