Spring brings forth visions of harvest in the minds of home gardeners everywhere as they look at freshly planted gardens. As most gardeners know, everything does best when planted at its optimal time. Planting strawberries is no different. This strawberry planting guide will show you when you should put your strawberry plants in the ground. If you haven’t yet purchased any, you can follow this link to buy strawberry plants.

The following table lists the date ranges when you should plant strawberries according to USDA (The United States Department of Agriculture) zones. The higher the number, the closer the zone is to the equator. Each zone has unique climatic properties, and following this strawberry planting schedule will help you maximize your harvest. For more, see the Growing Strawberries reference page.

Strawberry Planting Guide: Conclusion

strawberry planting guide

It is important to remember that planting strawberries during the appropriate time window is only half the battle, and late frosts generally won’t do any significant damage to strawberry plants. It is also important to select a cultivar that is well suited for your area. To learn more about the options, visit the Strawberry Varieties reference page, find out which ones are recommended for your state on the Recommended Strawberry Varieties, or just go with one of the tried and true Popular Strawberry Varieties. And good luck!

    Hi, I am in Portugal, coastside, frostfree rainy winters (Zone 10a, heat zone 7). Here, normally strawberries are purchased november, bareroot, and planted right away. I have limited space and because of veggie-supply in lockdown I planted in a raised bed (and harvested all winter) Pak Choi and Swiss Chard which are now coming to an end. Yesterday, beginning of March 2021, I bought some strawberry plants in tiny pots, some already with flowers and with fruit forming. I have two questions:
    1. Can I plant the strawberries in this site or is it risky because of the Pac Choi before (Brassica…); if it is (risky) , would it be the same problem where I grew Swiss Chard (in the same raised bed but not exactly the same place)?
    2. These small potted plants are surely the results of runners, separated from the mother plants probably in last fall. Do I count this year (2021) as year number one (and wait until next year for fruit) or is this already year two? Harvest or not Harvest is the question…
    Thanks in advance for advice.

    Hi! I just moved from Florida to South Dakota (zone 4b) and was gifted an everbearing strawberry plant and some starts. I have NO EXPERIENCE with winterizing and I don’t want my plants to die next winter! Should I plant them in the ground and read up on winterizing or should I plant them in pots and prepare a space for them inside as it gets colder? According to the map, now is the perfect time for me to plant but I don’t know what to do…

      September is a perfect time to plant! Planting in the fall allows the roots to develop so that you don’t have to snip your blooms. You won’t get any strawberries this year, but next spring you can expect a full harvest! Go ahead and get them in the ground, and good luck!

    I live in Maldives, a tropical country with two seasons, namely Hulhangu Moosun (wet monsoon) which lasts from April 8 to December 9, Iruvai Moosun (dry monsoon) which lasts from December 10 to April 7.
    I want to grow strawberries here. So is it possible to grow them here? If so please give some details on how to grow them. Especially when to start from seeds as we don’t have seedlings available here as they’re not grown locally.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

      No, it isn’t too late. If you are going to be transplanting the strawberries, you may want to even wait a bit longer. Root development happens best in the cooler fall weather, so September should be the ideal time to plant. Good luck!

    Hi! I’m trying my hand at planting for the first time ever and I wanted to start with strawberries. I live in zone 10 and was wondering, is the window for planting is closed since it’s already May? Additionally, I don’t have a yard or anything of the like but I do have a sunny window. Should I use a container or hanging basket?

      Yumi,
      In Zone 10 it is going to be difficult to grow strawberries in the summer/hot weather. Most growers that far south use day-neutrals for off season production in late winter. You can try either a container for your strawberries, or a hanging basket. However, it might be hard to keep them alive. Good luck!

    Hi,

    I bought some Albion. Not sure if they are barefoot or not as most of them have some small leaves on them but most of them are just long roots. I live in Northern California and now it is Feb. The temperature has been in the 30-40th during the day and 10-20th at night. I planted them right away in a milk crate towel I made with some straws and then covered it with some clear plastic. I left it outside for two nights and now I am not sure if that was stupid or not. So now I have it inside. Please let me know what should I do now. Thank you so much!

      Helen,
      Moving back and forth from inside to outside can be traumatic on plants when they are getting established. If you have a greenhouse-like set up (with the plastic), I would wait for some warm nights and then move them outside again the morning before the warmer nights begin. Giving them extra protection for the first few nights will help also, but staying outside is probably the best option as soon as they can be moved back out safely. Good luck!

Anyway, I have been told that they ate perinial. Is that correct? Also, I live in zone 6 (Missouri) when should I expect to see the first berries coming in? Thank you!

      Strawberry plants do love a sandy loam soil rich in organic matter. And, yes, they are perennial. You will likely see the first berries coming in by April or May, depending on the weather. Good luck!

      In zone 8, I would go ahead and plant personally, however, that does come with some risk. If you do go ahead and plant, be sure to monitor the temperature and provide extra protection if the temperature drops into the low twenties or cooler. Also, if the plants do suffer cold injury, you might void your ability to get a refund by not following the company’s recommendations. Either way, good luck!

      I am not familiar with the Sweet Colossus variety. I am assuming that it is suitably hardy for your climate, so I would recommend planting in-ground and mulching very heavily to protect them through the winter. To make certain that is the best course of action, you might want to contact the seller and get his recommendation for your situation/variety. Good luck!

      If I am not mistaken, Lowes sells potted plants. If that is the case (you bought already-green and growing plants), I’d recommend just letting the fruit set. There is little enough disruption when re-planting fully potted plants that you shouldn’t diminish the next year’s harvest significantly by allowing the plants to set their fruit. So, enjoy your harvest! Good luck!

      The black plastic is mainly used by commercial growers who treat the strawberry plants as annuals instead of perennials. The black plastic will keep your plants from spreading via runners as the runners won’t be able root through the plastic and will die. If you have mulch, I’d go with that. Good luck!

    Live in upstate New York. Still averaging 40 degrees in daytime. Rec’d my strawberry plants but think it’s too cold to plant as they’ll freeze. How do I keep them alive?

      Jean,
      Just don’t let the roots get completely dried out. If you ordered bare root plants, you should have gotten instructions with them. If not, you can get some sand and moisten it and keep the roots in the moist sand until you are ready to plant. If you got plugs or potted plants, just keep them inside and watered until you are ready to plant them outside. Good luck!

      Dee,
      Yes, you can separate or transplant them. See the Transplanting Strawberries page for help. Good luck!

      jess,
      Chandler does better in hot climates than many others do, but Phoenix isn’t the ideal place to grow them. For help there, see here: growing strawberries. Good luck!

      tim hawkins,
      You will likely have some trouble with heat and sandy soil. You’ll need to amend the soil to add more organic matter. See the Growing Strawberries Guide for more information. You might have the best results with Chandler. Good luck!

    Hello, I live in tenn so growing here is easy enough, but I live in a very shaded mountain with pretty poor, rocky soil. Would you recommend a raised bed or should i look more into co opting land?

      Hamilton King,
      I would recommend using raised beds filled with higher-quality soil. Of course, if you have land that can be co-opted for growing strawberries, that is an acceptable solution also. Good luck!

      Javier Alvarez,
      Unfortunately, Puerto Rico does not have a climate that is conducive to growing strawberries. You might want to try growing strawberries during the shorter days when it is cooler, but for that you’ll need a short-day variety (use the search box at the top of this page to find more information on those). If you are going to try to grow them during the summer, you might have difficulty. Chandler is one of the more heat-tolerant varieties, so you might want to try that one. Good luck!

      mike,
      If you are set on growing strawberries in Hawaii, you may want to try one of the following varieties: Eversweet, Quinault, Seascape. Although strawberries are grown commercially on the Islands, and the Fragaria chiloensis species of strawberries grow at elevation there, they are more difficult to grow in the tropical environment and not highly recommended. The three varieties I just listed are sold in nurseries on Hawaii, so they may do better than most. Good luck!
