Planting & Care Instructions:
Soak bare roots in water for 30–60 minutes before planting to promote healthy root development.
Select a sunny location that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best fruit production.
Prepare well-draining, fertile soil with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. Enrich soil with compost or organic matter for optimal growth.
Plant crowns at soil level, ensuring that roots are spread out and the crown is not buried. This will prevent rot and encourage healthy growth.
Space plants 12–18 inches apart, with 3–4 feet between rows to allow for proper air circulation and growth.
Water consistently, keeping soil moist but not soggy. Water early in the day to reduce the risk of disease.
Remove flowers during the first year to encourage strong root and foliage development, which leads to better fruit production in subsequent years.
Expect bountiful harvests of sweet, juicy strawberries starting in the second growing season, with reliable yields in each following year.
