Seascape Strawberry Plants - Great for Planters - Day Neutral (Heavy Producer) - Bare Root Strawberry Plants from Hand Picked Nursery (5)

I’ve purchased strawberry plants from Hand Picked Nursery twice now, and both experiences have been excellent. First Purchase: When I first bought their plants, I was completely new to gardening and accidentally planted the crowns too deep. Despite that mistake—and despite growing them under a regular household bulb with no proper grow light—they still managed to flower within a week. The plants were healthy and very easy to grow. Unfortunately, a couple of weeks later the flowers shriveled and the plants died, most likely because of my planting error, not the quality of the plants. Second Purchase: Since then, I’ve improved my gardening setup and skills. I ordered from Hand Picked Nursery again a couple of weeks ago, and they impressed me even more this time. They included an extra plant and even sent a double crown. These new plants are already starting to flower, and now I have the proper equipment to support them and (hopefully) harvest actual strawberries. Why I Keep Buying Here: The quality is consistently high, the prices are very reasonable, and shipping is affordable. I usually buy from Burpee, but their prices and shipping fees are much higher. Hand Picked Nursery gives me great plants without the extra cost. Overall, this is a fantastic product, and I plan to buy all my future strawberry plants from them. I will continue to edit this review to update the status of the plants!

These are the best bare root strawberries if your not ready to plant you can put them in the fridge can when you first plant them after a week or 2 they start to come out of dormant and grow leaves I would recommend cut off the dead root parts when you first get them and wash them. The leaves after they got out of Dormant the these were very green and bright. They last long and produced a lot of fruit overall amazing plants.

Update: I have to recant my original review (below). Although I got one more root than expected, and the roots all popped up a leaf or two. All but one have died in the first few weeks. I have been gardening for over 50 years, and have a green thumb. I had a very well mixed sand/soil base topped with a soil made specifically for strawberries. I even used a fertilizer designed for strawberries. One plant survived of the 6 and I treated that plant exactly the same way as I treated the other 5. I ordered 5 roots, got 6 - I can't say that will happen to you, but it's always nice to get a bonus. 3 of the roots were already sprouting leaves when I got them. I was a little worried about the other 3 but they just took a week longer so I'm six out of six. I planted them in soil made for strawberries, and I'm using fertilizer made for strawberries as well. People ask me how all of my plants do so well, I feed them what they want and put them in the soil they like! This is a really good value compared to buying plants at the store, and you don't have to put them in a small pot and transplant them later, you can just put them in the soil. I'm caging mine because I live next to a forest so I can have all the berries for myself (the critters have plenty of food to eat in the forest!). I'm going to cover them in straw with a moisture barrier for the winter, so hopefully I can keep this crop going next year.

SO, so pleased with the bareroot Seascape strawberry plants from HandpickedNursery.com! This is my 3rd order from this supplier, and will certainly not be my last! Plants are HUGE and so healthy. I always follow their enclosed directions exactly and grow the most beautiful strawberry plants. Tried a new variety this year and am so excited!

I followed the directions and mixed sand with my planting soil. Only 4 of the plants are growing after planting them and waiting a week or two and following the directions to a tee. It is quite possible that somewhere in the process I messed up. That being said, the four that are growing are a very nice bright green. I am ordering ten more and will try again. The seller shipped promptly, but the items were delivered a couple days after the notification I received. Those days were very warm. So based on trust and the assumption that the items I planted were stressed I am trying again.

I've tried repeatedly to plant strawberries from seed only to fail every time. I decided finally to try bare root strawberries and picked up this set of 10. First of all, I received 13 which is an excellent bonus. I didn't even need to clean them up, there were no dark roots and the crowns were in nice condition. I stuck them into my A-Frame NFT hydroponic system 4 days ago and already have 2-3 new leaves growing on every single one. This is INSANE. I can't believe how quickly these things are growing. I couldn't recommend these more to anyone. If you want strawberries, and don't want to hassle with germination and waiting a long time to grow - get THESE. I will be ordering a lot more very soon. Just need to empty out some of my tubes first. Update Almost 5 months later: So, even though I got the initial plants growing only 2 of them actually survived in my Hydroponic system. It may have been something I did, I do not know. What I do know is that through the runners -exploding-, those 2 plants now have provided me with a total of 38 plants and still continue to grow out new runners. Every new plant is healthy as can be and are producing very nice strawberries. They are on the smaller side a lot of the time, but there are a lot of them and they are quite tasty.

I bought these to use in my hydroponic garden system since I was having trouble with startin strawberry seeds. It's been a little less than a week since I received them, and all six plants (I ordered 5, received 6! Bonus!) are already growing leaves and doing very well. I'm really impressed so far. I hope they will produce strawberries!

They all grew fairly well after arriving but then suddenly died a few weeks later. No idea when went wrong but their roots seemed to have been decaying. Outdoor ones were in 90 degree weather and indoor ones were always around 70 degrees. They were potted in 30% perlite only as far as where the roots meet the crown. The ones I gave to two other people have also died. I would normally think this is just my (and my friends) fault, but all 15 in 4 different growing conditions died almost exactly 2 weeks after I planted them. Very weird.
