Properties
(No User Tips)
In harsher areas, give precedence to late flowering varieties such as Bogota and Polka. Varieties:
Hanging strawberries, climbing
strawberries, perpetual fruiting strawberries.
perpetual fruiting strawberries have small fruit which they produce
for months, do not produce any runners (apart from Sweetheart).
Habitat
(No User Tips)
Sunny, partial shade, slightly acidic, well drained soil which is rich in humus and sufficiently moist. The soil must be well drained.
Propagation
(No User Tips)
Propagating strawberries via runners:
The young plants along the runners are either placed over loose soil or over a sheet coated with sand.
Propagating via seeds:
Soak overnight before planting. Strawberry seeds need light to germinate,
so do not cover with soil, just press down firmly and keep moist. Cover seed tray with plastic sheeting.
