One of our Top Ten Strawberry varieties! Do not plant near wild plants or plants whose origins are unknown. Avoid fertilizer burn by fertilizing only after plants are established. Plants will fail to flourish if roots are too deep or too shallow. Pack soil firmly around the roots. Do not soak plants in water more than 1 hour! Water well one to three times a week, not every day. Soil pH level of 6.5 - 6.8 for strawberry plants. We also recommend adding sand to our soil. Bare root strawberry plants need to have well draining soil. Add at least 30 percent and mix in with a rich compost type soil.
