Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper care is essential for ensuring your seascape strawberry bare root plants thrive and produce abundant fruit. Begin by soaking the bare roots in water for 30–60 minutes prior to planting; this crucial step helps rehydrate them and promotes proper root development. Select a location in your garden that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fruit production. Strawberries prefer well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Enriching the soil with compost or other organic matter before planting will significantly improve soil structure and nutrient availability, benefiting your everbearing strawberry plants.

When planting, ensure the crown of the plant is at soil level, with the roots spread out and not overcrowded. Avoid burying the crown, as this can lead to rot. Space your plants 12–18 inches apart, allowing 3–4 feet between rows to ensure adequate airflow and healthy plant development. Consistent watering is key, especially during dry periods; the soil should remain moist but never soggy. During the first year, it is recommended to remove any flowers that appear. This allows the plant to focus its energy on establishing a strong root system and foliage, which will lead to a more robust and productive harvest in subsequent years. Expect your seascape strawberry bare root plants to begin continuous harvests starting in their second season, with ongoing production each year.

For sustained health and productivity, consider a balanced fertilizer application in early spring and again after the first major flush of fruit. Monitor for pests and diseases, though these disease resistant strawberries are generally quite hardy. Good air circulation and proper watering practices can prevent many common issues. These cold hardy strawberry plants are resilient but can benefit from winter mulching in colder zones to protect their crowns.
