Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper care is essential for ensuring a productive harvest from your seascape strawberry plants. Upon arrival, your bare root strawberries should be soaked in water for 30–60 minutes before planting to rehydrate the roots. Choose a sunny location that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight per day; full sun is crucial for optimal fruit production and flavor development. Prepare well-draining, fertile soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Enriching the soil with compost or other organic matter will significantly improve its structure and nutrient content, providing an excellent foundation for your plants.

When planting, ensure the crown of the strawberry plant is at soil level, with the roots spread out and not cramped. Avoid burying the crown, as this can lead to rot, and also avoid planting it too high, which can cause the roots to dry out. Space individual plants 12–18 inches apart within rows, and allow 3–4 feet between rows to ensure good air circulation, which helps prevent fungal diseases. Consistent watering is vital, especially during dry spells and when the plants are fruiting. The soil should remain consistently moist but never waterlogged. During the first year, it is recommended to remove any flowers that appear; this redirects the plant’s energy into developing a strong root system and foliage, which will lead to a much more robust and productive harvest in subsequent years. Expect your first significant harvest of everbearing strawberry plants to begin in the second season, with continuous production each year.
