Strawberry Plants Buyer's Guide
A strawberry plant is a wonderful addition to any outdoor area. Whether you have a large backyard, a small patio garden or something in between, it can do wonders for your space. A group of strawberry plants creates a beautiful, edible ground cover that will protect other plants in excessively sunny areas. They also produce runners as they grow, which will increase the size of your crops year after year. We have two types of strawberry plants:
- June-bearing strawberries produce one large crop of fruit each growing season, typically in June.
- Everbearing strawberries produce fruit throughout an entire growing season.
The strawberries you pick at harvest time are delicious. They are glossy and firm, with an excellent flavor and an enticing aroma. These strawberries are perfect for fresh eating, freezing for later, or making a variety of sweet treats. They’re good for you, too — strawberries are packed with vitamin C, fiber, antioxidants and more.
To ensure your growing success and satisfaction, there are a few things to consider when you buy a strawberry plant.
Zone Compatibility
Your climate plays an important role in whether a strawberry plant will produce fruit or even survive. Before ordering a plant, make sure its recommended hardiness zone range includes your area.
Proper Pollination
Even though our strawberry plants are self-pollinating, we still recommend planting another variety in your yard for optimum fruit production.
