Why Grow Strawberries?
Strawberry plants are beautiful: Strawberries are one of the best ornamental edible plants to grow in containers, especially hanging baskets.
Kid friendly: Growing and sampling strawberries brings inspiration to budding young gardeners.
So much more delicious than store-bought: If you have eaten a just-picked, sun-warmed, ripe strawberry, you know why.
Strawberries are perennials: Count on multiple seasons of bountiful harvests.
How to Plant and Grow Strawberry
Sow seed in cell packs or flats, press into soil but do not cover. Needs light to germinate. Kept at 60-65°F., germination averages 21-30 days. Transplant into the garden, 12 in. apart.
Grower Tip: To encourage larger, more vigorous and bountiful plants, you may remove the first flush of flowers.
