Take a look at some of the frequently asked questions we receive from those looking to buy Strawberry Plug Plants in the UK. You can contact our Customer Service Team or browse our general FAQs for further advice.

When to plant Strawberry Plug Plants

Strawberry plug plants can be planted in spring or autumn for best results. Spring planting (March to May) ensures fruiting in the same season, while autumn planting (September to October) allows plants to establish over winter for an earlier, more abundant harvest the following year.

How to Plant Strawberry Plug Plants

Choose a sunny, sheltered location with fertile, well-drained soil. If growing in the ground, space plants 30-40cm apart in rows 75cm apart. For containers, use a high-quality compost and ensure good drainage. Water well after planting and keep the soil consistently moist. Applying a layer of mulch helps retain moisture and suppress weeds.

How long do Strawberry Plug Plants take to grow?

Strawberry plug plants establish quickly and can start producing fruit within a few weeks of planting in the right conditions. For spring-planted plugs, expect a harvest from early to mid-summer. Autumn-planted plugs will develop strong roots over winter and bear fruit the following spring.

Why should I plant Strawberry Plug Plants?

Strawberry plug plants are easy to grow and provide an almost instant head start to the growing season. They establish faster than bare-root plants and often fruit in the first season. They are ideal for gardeners looking for a simple, low-maintenance way to grow delicious strawberries at home.

Where can I plant Strawberry Plug Plants?

Strawberry plug plants are suitable for garden beds, raised beds, hanging baskets, and containers. They need full sun and well-drained soil to thrive. Greenhouses and polytunnels can extend the growing season and improve yields.
