FAQs

When is the best time to plant bare root strawberries?

Spring is the ideal time to plant your bare roots as the soil begins to warm, allowing for quick root establishment.

Can I grow these in hanging baskets?

Yes, Symphony strawberries perform very well in hanging baskets, provided they are kept well-watered.

Do I need to protect them in winter?

These are hardy plants; however, in very cold regions, containers may benefit from being moved to a sheltered spot or wrapped.

How far apart should I space the plants?

Space your plants approximately 30-40cm apart to ensure adequate airflow and room for development.

How often should I feed the plants?

Start feeding with a potassium-rich liquid fertiliser once the first flowers appear and continue throughout the fruiting season.

Troubleshooting

Leaves turning yellow

Often a sign of overwatering or poor drainage; ensure the pot or soil is not waterlogged.

Slow growth after planting

Check that the crown was not planted too deep and that the soil has adequate drainage.

Fruit being eaten by pests

Use straw or a matting under the fruit to lift it off the ground, or consider bird netting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Traditional, excellent taste profile
  • Easy to plant and handle as bare roots
  • Highly versatile for different garden types
  • Suitable for beginner gardeners
  • Reliable and productive harvest

Cons

  • Requires proper initial soil preparation
  • Limited harvest window relative to perpetual varieties
  • Needs consistent watering during the establishment phase

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before planting, soak the bare roots in a bucket of water for approximately 30-60 minutes to rehydrate them. When planting, ensure the crown (the point where the roots meet the stem) is level with the soil surface—planting too deep can cause rot, while too shallow can lead to drying out.

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. As the plants grow, apply a balanced liquid feed once flowers appear to support fruit development. Mulching with straw around the plants once the fruit begins to form is highly recommended to keep the berries clean and dry.
