Savor summer's favorite sweet treat when you grow Bonnie Plants® Strawberry in your garden. The perfect healthy snack to pick while you work in the garden, strawberries are rich in antioxidants, high in vitamin C and fiber--and taste scrumptious. Enjoy them on their own or as a delicious ingredient for pies, cakes, crumbles, scones, crepes, galettes, sauces, salads, and drinks. Use strawberries fresh or preserve them by freezing or canning to enjoy the flavor of summer during chilly winter days. Grow a container of strawberries on the patio or just outside the kitchen to enjoy sweet snacks as you pass by, or plant strawberries in raised beds or in-ground gardens. Plant strawberries so the crown is just above the soil line. A perennial in USDA zones 5 to 9, strawberries prefer full sun and well-drained soil. The plant grows 8 to 12 inches tall, and fruit matures in 35 to 45 days. Be sure to water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, and feed it regularly with Miracle-Gro® Plant Food. With more than 100 years of experience, Bonnie Plants® offers high-quality live plant varieties designed for your gardening success.
