Strawberries

Sweet Treats • Garden Delight • The Perfect Groundcover

Strawberries (Fragaria × ananassa) are arguably the most beloved berry in the home garden. They are fast-growing, highly productive, and versatile, thriving in garden beds, containers, or even hanging baskets. The joy of picking a perfectly ripe, sun-warmed strawberry—fragrant, sweet, and juicy—is a quintessential gardening experience that makes them a top priority for any home grower.

Success with strawberries involves understanding the difference between June-bearing, everbearing, and day-neutral varieties, all of which have different harvest patterns. They demand well-draining, nutrient-rich soil, consistent irrigation, and plenty of sunlight. Our nursery stock consists of vigorous, disease-resistant crowns selected for their flavor, productivity, and ease of adaptation, ensuring you get the most out of your berry patch.

Frequently Asked Questions

June-bearing vs. Everbearing vs. Day-neutral?

June-bearing varieties produce one large, concentrated harvest in late spring/early summer. Everbearing varieties provide a crop in early summer and again in late summer/fall. Day-neutral varieties produce fruit consistently throughout the growing season, provided temperatures stay moderate.

How do I plant and care for crowns?

When planting, it is crucial that the "crown" (the point where leaves emerge from the roots) is set level with the soil surface. Planting too deep causes rot; planting too shallow exposes roots to drying. Mulching with straw helps keep the fruit clean and soil moist.

What should I do with runners?

Strawberries naturally produce "runners" (stolons) to propagate. If you want maximum fruit production, pinch off these runners so the plant focuses its energy on fruit rather than spreading. If you want more plants, let the runners root in the soil.

How do I protect against pests?

Birds and slugs are the primary strawberry thieves. Using netting can deter birds, while clean cultivation and removing debris help manage slugs. Always harvest promptly as berries reach peak ripeness to minimize losses to garden pests.
