Plant Care & Growing Tips

Proper care is essential for a bountiful harvest from your Seascape strawberry bare root plants. Upon arrival, soak the bare roots in water for 30–60 minutes to ensure adequate hydration before planting. Choose a sunny location in your garden that receives at least 6–8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal growth and fruit production. The soil should be well-draining, fertile, and have a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. Enriching the soil with compost or other organic matter will significantly improve plant health and yield.

When planting, ensure the crown of the plant is at soil level, with the roots spread out and not crowded. Avoid burying the crown, as this can lead to rot. Space individual plants 12–18 inches apart, allowing 3–4 feet between rows to ensure good air circulation and healthy development. Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry spells; keep the soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. During the first year, it’s recommended to remove any flowers that appear. This allows the plant to focus its energy on developing a strong root system and foliage, which will lead to a much more robust fruit production in subsequent seasons. This strategic approach will ensure your everbearing strawberry plant thrives for years to come. This variety is also a disease resistant strawberry, further simplifying care.
