Fragaria × ananassa, commonly known as strawberry, is a low-growing perennial prized for its sweet, juicy fruit and attractive white flowers. Strawberries are one of the first fruits to ripen each spring, making them a favorite for home gardens, raised beds, hanging baskets, and containers. With proper care, many varieties will continue producing fruit over an extended season in North Florida and South Georgia.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged; water at the base of the plant to help prevent disease
• Pruning: Remove runners unless propagating new plants, and trim away old or damaged leaves after harvest
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer at planting and again after the main harvest to encourage healthy growth
