Jewel Strawberry Plants - Fragaria x ananassa Bare Root Strawberry Plants

Jewel Strawberry is a well-known June-bearing strawberry variety prized for its large, glossy red berries and dependable harvests. Plants produce vigorous, healthy foliage and send up clusters of white spring blossoms that develop into flavorful fruit with excellent fresh-eating quality. Jewel strawberries are a favorite for home gardens, raised beds, and edible landscapes, and they also freeze and preserve well for later use.

These bare root strawberry plants arrive dormant and ready to establish, making them an economical way to start or expand a strawberry patch. With proper planting and care, Jewel strawberries typically settle in quickly and begin producing fruit in their first full season.

Planting & Care

Plant bare root strawberries as soon as possible after arrival. Soak the roots briefly in water, then set plants in a sunny location with well-drained soil. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, position the crown at soil level, and firm soil around the roots. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged while plants establish.

Apply mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, and remove runners as needed to keep plants productive. Fertilize lightly in early spring and provide steady water during bloom and fruiting. In colder regions, a layer of mulch over the crowns helps protect plants through winter.
