Growing & Maintenance Tips for Strawberry 'Berri Basket® Ruby Ann'

In Hanging Baskets or Containers:

Sunlight: 6-8 hours daily

Water consistently, keeping an even moisture level, especially during hot weather. Do not let dry out.

Fertilize weekly with 20-20-20 (5 mL/L of water).

In beds:

Sunlight: 6-8 hours daily

Fertilize beds in early summer and again in September with a balanced fertilizer. Do not fertilize if plants are flowering.

Plant in well draining soil. Water consistently, especially during hot weather.

A light mulch will assist in minimizing weeds, will conserve moisture and help keep fruit clean.

After harvest, remove old foliage being careful not to injure the crowns.

Winter protection for all strawberry varieties is important in our northern climate. Apply a mulch of straw or other loose organic matter 2-3 inches deep over the plants after the ground freezes but before the temperature drops below -6C. In spring, pull the mulch back into the rows.
