About this Variety
Strawberry Quinault is an everbearing variety which, as the name suggests, produces its first crop in spring and then subsequent crops at several week intervals throughout the summer, well into fall. Everbearers are not sensitive to the length of day, making them desirable for gardeners who seek a supply of berries over a longer season instead of all at once. A Van Zyverden best seller and an overall excellent variety to grow due to its high yield, continuous fruit production, and well-balanced flavor profile. A very popular choice for home gardeners to grow and highly adaptable throughout most of the USA. Best enjoyed for fresh berry consumption.

Growing Instructions
Place planter in a full sun location. Empty the bag of growing medium into the pot. Firm and smooth. Carefully dig little holes in which to plant the strawberry roots. Do not cover the crown of the root. Although the kit ships with ten plants, five should fill up the pot. Plant one in the middle and settle the other four roots around it on the outer edge. Water well, saturating the soil deeply. Make sure the nursery pot is able to drain. Continue to saturate soil for first few days then water as needed. Sit back and let mother nature do its thing! Enjoy the extra five plants in another planting or gift them to a friend.
Care Tip
Plants in containers are above soil level and exposed to the elements which make them more prone to freeze damage during the winter than plants planted in the garden. Take extra precautions and overwinter the planter in a protected area (shed or garage) during freezing temperatures (best to provide a winter environment that is one zone hardier than your area). To overwinter: Water plants thoroughly and move borderline-hardy plants into a protected area to increase chance of survival. Because the plant is dormant, light isn't required. Check every few weeks to ensure the planting medium isn't dry. Water sparingly. Overwatering can cause the plants to come out of dormancy. Place planter back outside to restart its cycle when spring and warmer temperatures return!
