Require full sun. Sun it is that develops sugar levels in the berries – so make sure your plants get lots of it. A full sun position is the ideal and a fairly open siting too so as the sun moves around it is still reaching the plant. June bearing strawberry plant. You can produce more plants from its runners/babies. Simply plant the runners by place it on top of the soil and press into the soil lightly and water them. Works great! Also, is good to fertilize them at the base once in awhile before the fruit comes. They produce small size strawberries. When they are fully ripen, I think these are sweet, give this a try! $5 for a medium/large size plant, has a vine attached with one to two runners/babies, see picture #2 for size reference or closest to. ***Picture #2 shows 2 plants, each plant with their own vine’s. Or Strawberry clippings 3 vines for $6, bare root, each vine have 2 runners (1 baby attached), see picture #3. Same as to receiving 6 plants for $6. You will need to root these plants. I would suggest to plant as is with both runners from the same vine to root them in the ground, don’t cut off the other runner. The vine’s top will grow longer and more babies will grow further down that vine. As well, lateral vine will grow with more babies. Grow the runners in direct soil in partial shade or bright light but not direct sun until you see growth then put them in full sun. You can use a container or whatever you have to grow them in. Make sure to sprinkle water on everyday to keep leaves and soil moist to develop roots. You can transplant them later in to the ground. Mine comes back because I cover them before the frost comes. You can use hays and a tarp to cover. As well, you can double layer your tarp by folding in half to cover, or you can even add extra soil around the base of the plant with a tarp…..whatever works for you. Plant these in the ground now to develop strong roots for next year before the frost comes. North pick up
