10 Eversweet Everbearing Strawberries Plants - Organic Grown USA. Zone 4-9.
Product Care Instructions | Strawberry Plant Basics Soil: Ideal soil pH is 5.5-6.5. Strawberry plants need well-draining soil. Choose a good quality potting mix that has perlite mixed in. You will then want to add in about 1/3 compost to mix in with your potting soil. This will create a well-draining, nutrient filled soil that your strawberries will love! We recommend to always check your soil's pH. Environment: If your area's daily temp is in the 80s or above you will want to start them in a place that is not in direct sun, such as indoors with a grow light or outdoors on a covered porch. If you are able to start them outdoors right away in the spring then you may place them in your gardening bed or pots, just make sure you mulch them so they may retain moisture when watered., Water: If you are starting them indoors or outside in shade, you may only need to water about twice a week. Once they are outside in full sun, then you will need to adjust your watering to accomadate the direct sun that will cause their soil to dry out at a faster rate. Transplanting Outdoors: Once the plant has grown a few new stems, you may transplant them outside. Usually this will be about two weeks after planting. For the first two days you will want to place them in a shaded area outdoors. These first two days will allow the plant to acclimate to the humidity and temperature of their environment first. And then each day after that you may begin to move them into a little sun and little more each day after that until they are in their permanent home. Be sure to mulch them before starting the transplanting process so their soil may retain the moisture when you water them. |

Looking good
I had never planted anything ever in my life. I woke up one day and realized how bored I was and wanted to try my hand at gardening. Strawberries was on my list of 6 plants to start with. I'm sure I did everything wrong. I received them and dove in head first. I didn't soak them, I didn't separate the roots. I just crammed them all into the soil and covered them up. By sheer luck I didn't bury the crown (yes, I've researched more since planting them). On top of all of this, I buried them on a rainy day, with more rainy days to follow. That was 7 days ago. This picture is after 7 days since planting and they are doing beautifully, even for someone that has no idea what she's doing. Even for a novice, these strawberry plants are thriving. Just look at those bright green colors. I will be a returning customer. I can't wait to see how this goes.

Excellent looking plants but.........
I ordered 10 plants . All but 2 of them were live plants. The other 2 are struggling. They started off small and weak and will, in all probability, will remain so. That's not a good average but not bad either. I ordered from other places and 90 percent of the plants just never grew.

Plant right away!
I know its probably my fault but I didn't realize these had to go in the ground right away till i went to plant them and realized it only had a QR code for instructions and they sit for almost 20 days. I think 2 may have survived hopefully. I just thought these were like the ones you get at like minards that can sit dry. I'm hopeful the 2 will live and make babies.

Very excited to watch them continue to grow!
The roots arrived pretty quickly and I was nervous when I first opened them (I’ve never purchased strawberry roots before so I really wasn’t sure what to expect) but I soaked the ends of the roots in water overnight and then planted them. I’m starting indoors because it is still too chilly at night in CT but they are looking wonderful! I received 12 instead of 10 which is great because I don’t think one of them is going to make it but I am very excited to see how the rest grow! The first picture is how they were received and the second is 4 days after they were planted!

Healthy plants
When they arrived, the plants looked a little bedraggled, but they all perked up quickly.

Best Quality Experience!
I ordered 10 Eversweet and received 13. All healthy, soaked for about one hour, potted up in solo cups and by day three ALL had come out of dormancy. I am about to put them in my Greenstalk since it's been two weeks and have been acclimated to being outside, lots of beautiful leaves and I am already seeing flower growth on several plants. This is my first experience growing strawberries and Hand Picked made it Wonderful! I will Only buy from Hand Picked, Best experience ever!!! Thank You!!!

Not thriving at all
This is the second time I attempted to grow these. Last year they arrived quite late and did not do well as soon as I plated them outside. I credited the weather for their lack of thrive and left it at that. This year I ordered them early as I knew it will take a long time to deliver. I got 9, soaked them in water, and they started to sprout. As soon as I planted them outside, they stated withering away, although they were watered regularly to ensure they can take root. Now I have only two that kind of hang on. Seems like I got a bad patch both time…
