Strawberries come in bare root bundles.

• When you receive your plants separate the bundled plants, remove any dried leaves at their tops and soak the roots in shallow water for an hour or two before planting.

• Plant them just up to their crowns. The crowns prefer to float on top of the soil level.

• Pick the sunniest south facing area that stays dry in spring breakup and covered with snow insulation during winter.

• Roots will freeze dry if plant in a cold area or in a raised garden bed or box where an air draft could blow underneath it.

• Typically best planted in mounded rows, gutters, hanging baskets. If put into a container, YOU MUST BURY the pot direct into ground or place at ground frost level and mulch cover with a few inches of plant debris for insulation during winter.

• Strawberries LOVE HEAT so if you’d like to cover the area with black plastic, fabric, straw, or wool you’ll have success!

• Plant them late spring into May when ground is workable and weather pending after no frosts, while the ground is still cool and moist, and in a sunny spot, if possible.
