Earliglow June-Bearing Strawberry Plants

Bring the flavor of freshly picked strawberries to your garden with Earliglow, an early-season June-bearing variety. Its firm, deep red, cone-shaped berries are suited to fresh eating, freezing, and preserves, making it a practical choice for a seasonal home harvest.

What You Receive

• Earliglow strawberry roots for planting, not seeds.
• Choose a pack of 10, 25, or 100 roots.

Variety Highlights

• Bearing habit: June-bearing, producing one concentrated seasonal crop over a few weeks rather than repeated harvests throughout summer.
• Fruit: Firm, deep red, cone-shaped strawberries with rich flavor.
• Uses: Fresh eating, freezing, jam, and other preserves.
• Pollination: Self-pollinating.

Planting and Growing

Plant in spring when the soil can be worked. Choose a sunny location with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily and well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Sandy loam is preferred. Prepare the soil to a depth of approximately 6–8 inches before planting.

Keep roots moist until planting. Spread the roots into the planting hole and position the crown at soil level, covering the roots without burying the crown. Water thoroughly after planting.

Seasonal Care and Harvest

Maintain evenly moist soil without waterlogging. Feed at transplanting and again in spring, following the fertilizer label. Keep weeds under control and monitor plants as they establish.

Pick berries when fully red and ripe. Earliglow provides a concentrated harvest, useful when you want enough fruit for a batch of preserves or the freezer. Harvest timing and yields depend on your climate, weather, and plant establishment.
