‘Seascape’ Strawberry Everbearing-Day Neutral Fragaria x ananassa Zone 4-8 Recommended for Texas by Texas A & MWe

• This is one of the easiest fruit plants to grow in the home garden.
• You will need to set aside a portion of your garden to maintain this perennial plant; planting your bare root or seedlings between 8 - 12 inches apart.
• Seascape is the variety of strawberry plant that we sell, and it is grown extensively in the Pajaro Valley in commercial fields and private gardens.
• Bare root stock is received in November and one begins bringing them to market in December.
• This is a perfect time to plant them for the earliest harvest.
• Depending on the weather, you may begin to see flower bud clusters shortly after planting.
• It is best to remove those early buds to encourage root development.
• Later in the season, the plant will send out runners.
• It is also best to cut those back to encourage more fruit.
• In late fall you may allow the runners to grow and develop new plants for the following season.
• You can pull the older plants out every two years as the strawberry patch matures.
• Seascape was developed by UC Davis as an ever bearing strawberry plant that produces consistently throughout the season (March - October). It does not require a lengthy dormant period or intense chilling so is more productive in our moderate coastal climate. And the berry tastes really good!
• For urban gardeners, strawberry plants do well in large containers like half wine barrels or three to five gallon pots.
• Full sun is critical to fruit production so make sure you have a good sunny location before investing time and energy into container gardening.
• There are so many ways to enjoy strawberries that I couldn't really decide on just one. My favorite way to enjoy strawberries? Eaten warm in the garden!
