Everbearer Strawberry Plants FAQs
Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we receive from those looking to buy Everbearer Strawberry Plants in the UK. You can contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs for further advice.
When to plant Everbearer Strawberry Plants
Everbearer strawberry plants can be planted in early spring (March to April) or autumn (September to November). Autumn planting allows the plants to establish strong roots before winter, ensuring a strong start in the following growing season. Spring planting will still produce a good yield, with fruit appearing later in the season.
How to Plant Everbearer Strawberry Plants
Choose a sunny location with well-drained, fertile soil. Before planting, enrich the soil with compost or well-rotted manure to provide essential nutrients. Space plants 30-40cm apart, keeping the crown at soil level, and water them thoroughly after planting. Mulching around the plants helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect developing fruit. If planting in containers, ensure they have good drainage and use a high-quality potting mix.
How long do Everbearer Strawberry Plants take to grow?
Everbearer strawberries typically start producing fruit within a few months of planting. Unlike traditional summer-fruiting varieties, they continue to flower and bear fruit in small but steady quantities from late spring to autumn, providing a consistent harvest throughout the growing season.
Why should I plant Everbearer Strawberry Plants?
Everbearer strawberries provide a continuous supply of fresh fruit, reducing the need to buy strawberries from the store. Their prolonged fruiting period makes them perfect for regular snacking, desserts, and preserving. Additionally, they require less space than traditional varieties, making them ideal for container growing or small gardens.
Where can I plant Everbearer Strawberry Plants?
Everbearer strawberries thrive in garden beds, raised beds, hanging baskets, and containers. They need a sunny, sheltered location with well-drained soil. In colder regions, growing them in a greenhouse or under cloches can help extend their fruiting season further into autumn.
