Strawberries, Fragaria sp.

Strawberries will take all the space you offer and more, that is why we need to share some from the veggie garden. This variety produces small to medium small juicy, sweet berries. White flowers are visited by our fuzzy Alaska bumblebees. 2nd and 3rd year plants produce best, and these produce a lot, many plants will have stalks of 4-6 berries. Easy to grow, they will handle most soil types, plants will get bigger in rich soil. Plant them in mounds so water doesn’t sit on them, strawberry plants and the berries are prone to mold if sitting on wet ground. Perennial.

9 available, 4-inch pots
