Planting & Care Instructions:
Soak bare roots in water for 30–60 minutes before planting to ensure proper hydration and root development.
Choose a sunny location that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day for best fruiting.
Prepare well-draining soil with a pH of 5.5–6.5. Add compost or organic matter to enrich soil for optimal growth.
Plant crowns at soil level, ensuring the roots are spread out and the crown is not buried.
Space plants 12–18 inches apart, with 3–4 feet between rows to allow for air circulation and healthy growth.
Water regularly to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
Remove flowers during the first year to allow the plants to focus on developing strong roots and healthy foliage, which will improve yields in the second season.
Expect a bountiful harvest of sweet strawberries starting in the second growing season, with reliable production for many years to come.
