Winterizing: If grown in the garden, we recommend covering the area with mulch. If growing in a container, we recommend bringing the container into an unheated garage to overwinter.
Maintenance & pruning: Produces few to no runners like regular strawberries. Best performance when planted in a container, if planting in-ground, we recommend avoiding planting in areas where tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, or okra were planted last season.
Everbearing strawberries' growth starts to fade after 3-4 years. We recommend replacing them once growth slows down or growing them as annuals.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.

Will want to know if I order some of these strawberry plants will I get them in time for them to produce berries this year and will they multiply?
'Gasana' Everbrearing Strawberry could possibly bloom for you this season. Typically, they bloom 2-3 months after growing in ideal conditions!
Do the plants already have strawberries on them?
Hello there! The 'Gasana' Everbearing Strawberry plants that you receive will likely be young and not yet bearing fruit. They are sold as one-quart size plants, and while they are capable of producing berries all summer long into the fall once mature, they will need some time to establish themselves after planting before you can enjoy their juicy berries. If you give them the right care, with plenty of sun and good soil, you'll have those tasty strawberries to look forward to!

They appear to be TOSCANA with the pink flowers. Are they TOSCANA?
Gasana and Toscana strawberry plants are closely related, but they are separate varieties of strawberry.
Are these strawberries plants able to last if left in the garden during the winter months in Zone 5?
Hello and thank you for your question! Yes, you can plant these strawberries outside in zone 5. They are rated for zones 4-8 so you should have no problem with them in your zone.
