Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your seascape strawberry plants is straightforward, ensuring a rewarding harvest of delicious fruit. Understanding their specific needs for sunlight, soil, and water is key to maximizing their potential as an everbearing strawberry. Upon arrival, your bare root strawberry plants should be planted as soon as possible. Soak the roots in water for about 20-30 minutes before planting.

Sunlight Requirements: Seascape strawberries thrive in full sun, meaning they need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to produce the best fruit. Choose a location in your garden or on your patio that receives ample sunshine throughout the day. While they can tolerate partial shade, fruit production may be reduced. Watering Schedule: These plants prefer consistently moist, but not waterlogged, soil. Water deeply, especially during dry spells and when fruit is forming. Aim for about 1-1.5 inches of water per week, either from rainfall or irrigation. The soil should be well-drained, with an average moistness. Soil Type and pH: Seascape strawberries prefer a slightly acidic to neutral soil, with a pH level between 5.5 and 6.5. A well-draining, loamy soil enriched with organic matter is ideal. For container strawberries, use a high-quality potting mix that offers good drainage. Temperature Range & USDA Zones: Seascape strawberries are hardy in USDA Zones 4-8. They are day-neutral, meaning they are less sensitive to day length and can produce fruit over a wider temperature range than some other varieties. Protect plants from extreme heat or cold if growing outside their optimal zone range. Fertilization: Fertilize in early spring and again in mid-summer with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer or one specifically formulated for berries. Avoid excessive nitrogen, which can promote leafy growth at the expense of fruit production. Spacing: We recommend spacing your plants approximately 12 inches apart to allow ample room for growth and air circulation, which helps prevent disease.
