Spring Strawberry Plants

Our Products: Garden Plants > Strawberry Plants > Spring Strawberry Plants

Strawberries are easy to grow! Fresh strawberries have so much more flavor than store-bought! Strawberries from the grocer are expensive! Strawberry plants are pretty year round! Do you need any more reasons to plant strawberries? Then let�s get started!

You should choose a place for your strawberry bed that gets at least 6 hours of sun a day. Choose an area that will not be standing in water, as strawberries like moist, but well-drained soil, and choose an area that will be easy to water regularly, as berries also do not tolerate drought well. Soil testing is recommended, but not absolutely necessary. For a smaller berry patch or for easy landscaping and ready access to a water supply, you might take a look at our Pyramid Space Saver Garden, complete with built-in sprinkler.

Spring strawberries will be shipped to you as bare root plants. We have a short video that shows you how easy it is to plant them and that will insure your success. Then, after planting, water generously, and for the first two weeks. The soil should remain damp.

Spring plants should not be allowed to produce fruit the first year; it weakens the plant. So, simply nip the flower buds off during the first year, enjoy the green ground cover, and look forward to the following season�s fantastic crop! Once the first frost has occurred or snow is expected, cut your plants back to about 1�, thin your plants as needed and apply fertilizer; we recommend Espoma Plant-tone�. Apply a thick layer of mulch, like straw, to protect your young plants, removing the mulch in the spring when new growth appears. This is the most exciting time! Watch them grow and enjoy your harvest!
