Plant Care & Growing Tips

Successful cultivation of your seascape strawberry bare roots begins with proper planting and consistent care. Upon arrival, soak the bare roots in water for 30–60 minutes to ensure adequate hydration before planting. Choose a sunny location that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal fruit production. Good air circulation is also beneficial to prevent fungal issues. Prepare a well-draining, fertile soil with a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Enriching the soil with compost or other organic matter will significantly improve plant vigor and yield.

When planting, ensure the crown (the point where the roots meet the leaves) is at soil level, with the roots spread out and not crowded. Avoid burying the crown, as this can lead to rot, and do not leave the crown exposed. Space individual plants 12–18 inches apart, allowing sufficient room for growth and runners. If planting in rows, leave 3–4 feet between rows to facilitate airflow and maintenance. Consistent watering is crucial, especially during dry spells; the soil should remain moist but never waterlogged. These everbearing strawberry plants will benefit from regular, shallow watering.

During the first year, it is highly recommended to remove all flowers. This practice encourages the plant to focus its energy on developing a strong root system and robust foliage, which will lead to a much more abundant and healthier harvest of large sweet strawberries in subsequent years. Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again after the main harvest. Protect your cold hardy strawberries during harsh winters by applying a layer of mulch once temperatures consistently drop below freezing, removing it in early spring as new growth emerges. Proper care ensures you’ll be able to grow seascape strawberries for many seasons.
