La description
Success with strawberries asks that you understand their life
cycle. Like most hardy perennials, strawberries die back in winter
and start growing vigorously as the soil warms in spring. After
bearing fruit (as early as February in Florida, or June farther
north), many types of strawberries produce numerous runners with
baby plants at the tips. Those runners often root themselves nearby
yet remain attached to the mother plant. These types of
strawberries produce more fruit if you clip off most of the
runners, allowing each plant to produce no more than 3 daughter
plants each summer. (Some varieties of strawberries produce few to
no runners.)
Exhausted from producing fruit and offspring, strawberries
typically take a second rest period during summers second half.
When kept weeded and lightly watered, most parent plants and their
offspring perk up and grow again for a while in the fall. Even
though it may look like little is going on with strawberries in
September, the plants are busy during the fall months developing
the latent buds that will grow into next springs flowers.
From zone 6 northward, strawberries are best planted in spring so
they will be well-rooted by the following winter. Containers can be
replanted in late summer and moved to a cool, protected place such
as an unheated garage during the coldest months.
From zone 7 southward, strawberries can be planted in fall. (In
Florida and other warm, humid coastal areas, many are grown as cool
weather annuals.) Once a planting is established, simply lift your
healthiest plants each September, and replant them in a freshly
renovated site.
Growing strawberries doesnt have to entail so much work, though. In
all areas, strawberries can be allowed to grow into a vibrant green
ground cover that requires little maintenance. The plants wont bear
as heavily as more intensively managed plants, but they will still
produce delicious berries, year after year.
