Recommended Strawberry Varieties by State

Modified: Feb 14, 2022 by Mr. Strawberry · This post may contain affiliate links · 91 Comments

If you have landed on Strawberry Plants .org looking for guidance regarding planting or growing strawberries, you are in the right place. Many people come here looking for advice on which specific strawberry variety they should plant in their respective states. Well, as one might expect, there are a lot of different climates and growing conditions out there. Each state has its own unique general soil composition, rainfall, and weather patterns.

Consequently, any given strawberry plant variety is likely to do better in one specific region than other regions. While some cultivars are able to adapt to many environments, others have been bred to be highly productive in a relatively narrow climate range.

This guide is a state-by-state list of strawberry varieties that do well in each state. Once you find your state and a prospective variety for your own garden, you can check the Strawberry Varieties page for more information or go to the Buy Strawberry Plants page to order them directly from an online nursery. If you have a specific nursery from which you would like to order, see if they offer your chosen variety by looking them up in the Strawberry Plants for Sale directory. Without further ado, here are the best strawberry varieties for each state:

    Mr. Strawberry,
    I live in NW Ohio and have 3 strawberry towers. They have Allstar, Earliglow, Jewel, Sparkle and Ozark beauty in them. How should I over winter these? We have a unheated barn or I could cover with white seed jumbo sacks. Or do you have other suggestions? Thank you.

    Hi. I live in Utah. I bought Everbearing strawberries at my local nursery. They have been very prolific and bear lots of fruit in early and late summer, just not in really hot months. One thing I recommend is planting them far enough apart. They seem to grow quite large

    Mr S-
    I planted 50 Ozark beauty plants in April. Trimmed runners and flowers until plant was bigger. Now beginning of July I’m waiting for berries. I had some flowers but not what I would consider good for 50 plants.
    I’ve used some 10-10-10 and a bit of bone meal after planting.
    Had minor probs with red stele but phosphorous seemed to help.
    Plants look good for most part, just waiting on fruit. Do I just need patience or soil amendment?

    Good day, I am interested in the production of strawberries at commercial level and under a system of semi hydroponics, but in my city (Lima – Peru) the weather is something special, we have a summer from December to April with temperatures of 19 ° C per the night and 25 ° C in the day, with an autumn as well as the almost imperceptible spring, the winter is well marked (and special for what I will comment) begins in June and extends until October with an average temperature of 12 ° C per the night and 16 ° C of day with a relative humidity between 75% and 90%, it does not rain, the detail is in that the sky is gray (cloudy) but with embarrassment in this epoch, according to these conditions that variety could use.
    Thanks, I’m waiting.

      Have you tried the Eversweet everbearing strawberry? I would suggest trying it on a small scale to see how it grows in your climate. The variety that you plant will depend on what is available in your country, as most countries prohibit the import of plants due to disease risks.

      It is very difficult to grow strawberries in tropical climates. You can do it in climate-controlled environments, and you might be able to get a crop with short-day June-bearing strawberries during the winter months. However, I’d not recommend trying it due to the possible complication. Good luck!

    Hello
    I live in Western NC. My husband and I just constructed 3 raised beds and are planting strawberries in one of them. We bought Quinault and Allstar plants and just bought and planted 40 Jewel roots. I just read on your web-site that Jewel are suseptible to root rot and a number of other not so good things. Should I pull the roots out and start over and will they affet my Quinault and Allstar berries. Thanks

      Lori,
      You can, but I wouldn’t if it were my beds and I’d already planted. The fact that you constructed raised beds is good as it will facilitate water drainage. If you take appropriate care of them, you will likely have no problems with any of the varieties you planted. If you want to be completely safe, however, you could uproot and replant a different variety. Good luck!

      Leigh Harris,
      Unfortunately, strawberries are naturally temperate and just won’t do very well in constant heat and humidity. The 3/4 months of rain will cause pathogenic fungi organisms to damage or kill your strawberry plants. So, it would probably be better in this case to not try. I’m sorry!

      Caleb KS,
      You might want to consider using a June-bearing type. The day-neutrals are harder to make profitable due to their overall lower yield of berries as compared to June-bearing varieties. If you are sure you want to go with a day-neutral variety, the two you mentioned can work. Tribute and Tristar are a couple of others you may want to investigate. Good luck!

    Last week at my local Home Depot in Canton, I bought some Alistar, Ozark Beauty and the Quinault variety berries and after checking the list for Ohio, none of these varieties are recommend for the state. Will they grow in my area and why if they are not recommended for this area would the local Home Depot sell them? The plants are in the Bonnie brand pots that get planted directly into the ground. Any help you can supply would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

      Doug in OH,
      While those varieties may not be specifically recommended as the best possible varieties, they ARE some of the most popular, well-adapted varieties. Home Depot and Lowes and the other big box stores contract out to the big nurseries to get a certain amount of plants and then distribute those out to their retail outlets. They choose varieties that should do reasonably well across many different climates and locations. The varieties of plants you purchased should still do well for you if you care for them appropriately, so don’t worry! And, good luck!

      Fiesta strawberries are a less-common variety, but are more suitable to warmer weather than are many other varieties, just like Chandler strawberries are. They are a good substitute for Chandlers. I believe they are June-bearing. If you don’t mind me asking, where did you get the Fiesta plugs/plants from?

    If not Albion which variety would you advice.

    Thank you in advance.

      John,
      Unfortunately, that area is a bit too warm for strawberries to optimally thrive. You might try Chandler, however, but even it is unlikely to flourish there. Good luck!

    Mr. strawberry, this site is fantastic. I have a plantar box in which I plan to fill with strawberry plants. I live in Southern California. What varietal would you recommend as the recs are for the whole state of CA but climate can vary depending where you are. Also I’m interested in growing pine berries. Do you think its feasible?

      Yes, growing pineberries is feasible. You can get them from the suppliers listed here, if you’d like. As for a specific variety for you location, I would recommend trying Chandler or Camarosa. Good luck!

      ‘Chandler’ is likely a good choice, given the understanding that the climate in general is suboptimal for strawberry cultivation. Good luck!

    Mr. Strawberry how can I identify the variety of strawberry plants I have?
    I found them growing in gravel at a parking lot and rescued them.
    They seems to be a hardy variety with small berries. Since transplanting they have really taken off and are doing well. Thanks Steve

      Steve,
      They might be wild strawberries of either the F. virginiana or F. vesca species. Of course, however, there aren’t a whole lot of nutrients in gravel parking lots, so any variety would likely produce small, stunted berries. Without more information, it is basically impossible to determine the variety with any amount of certainty. Just check the flowers. If the flowers are yellow, they aren’t strawberries at all. Good luck!

    Mr. Strawberry.

    This is a little off topic but not terribly. I have 23 acres and a full vegetable garden. about 10 of the 23 acres I have wooded partial sun partial shade. I am looking for multiple perennial ground covers (strawberries?) that I can plant across the hillside. I live in TN, and am in zone 6b. I want to use my land to be productive both for humans and wildlife, as well as used to keep the brambles and other non edible weeds from cursing my forests as undergrowth. Any suggestions?

      Steve,
      Living in Zone 6b, you might want to try strawberries. They won’t produce fruit optimally under the conditions you describe, but they very well could serve as a ground cover. If you plant and mulch well the first year, the runner plants can form a thick mat that will diminish (but not eliminate) other weeds. Good luck!

    Hello again Mr. Strawberry! I just looked under ‘recommended varieties by state’ and saw that “Note: Arizona is not considered a good location for strawberry cultivation. (According to the University of Arizona Citrus Agricultural Center)”
    I’d have to say to please add that with proper soil prep, mulching and watering, (lots of water!) strawberries do great in AZ! I’ve grown them for 2 years so far with beginner’s knowledge and still learning, and we have lots of big, juicy strawberries and healthy plants with tons of runners!

      Thank you for posting this comment.
      Living in Tucson, I’ve wanted to try growing strawberries, as I’ve seen both plants and seed for sale in nurseries and box stores. I suspected that at the early and later parts of the growing season we should have decent luck and maybe even in the hotter times too if I provide some shade and keep things watered well. (I don’t mind the extra water use when I can grow good things to eat. 🍓)
      Your comment gives me hope that I’m on the right track.

      Donna Knies,
      To have fruit throughout the growing season, you will need different varieties. You should plant an early season variety, a mid-season variety, and a late season variety, at minimum. You can find the recommended varieties above under Indiana. Just pick one variety each of the early/mid/late producers. Good luck!

      Unfortunately, strawberry plants are temperate by nature. They are not well-suited for tropical climates. If you are successful in keeping the plants alive, they will likely not produce much fruit, if any, for you. Sorry!

    Hi, what is the best type of strawberry to grow in England? I don’t have a greenhouse, but I do have a big conservatory that is really warm. I need a type that does not take long before they start shooting leaves, 3-5 months maybe,before they start growing good-sized leaves? I am planning to raise strawberries from a seed,and sell them as gifts. I don’t really have much experience on strawberries, which means I am just a beginner, but I really want to master it!

      Ruby Red Strawberries,
      A good variety for growing in England is Royal Sovereign. However, you may run into problems if you attempt to grow from seed. The alpine strawberry varieties will grow true from seed, and a few F1 hybrids do ok from seed as well. Most varieties, however, do not. Royal Sovereign and most of the commercially available varieties will NOT grow true from seed. If your intention is to grow your gift plants from seeds, you should probably consider the varieties on the Buy Strawberry Seeds page. Good luck!

      I’ve not heard of an actual variety called that. Chances are good that it was a differently-named variety that just got re-dubbed with that moniker. If you do find a supplier of such a strawberry, let me know, and I will add it to this site’s directory!

Asking for 2-3 because I would like mix my plantings with 2 varieties of strawberries or even 3. Thus the reason being I would like to have multiple harvests of berries and hopefully with the right kinds will let me ALWAYS have berries to pick at ALL times of the 4-6month growing season.

    I was curious as to what types of strawberries grow best in the Tropics (Thailand)?

    Could you point me to any resources about successfully growing sweet strawberries in this area? Most of the strawberries I have tried that have been grown in the tropics (even at elevation) tend to be very tart and have little sweetness.

    Thanks much,

    Hi, I live in Puerto Rico (a US commonwealth) in the Caribbean, usually I use Florida as a growing guide, but they get frosts and we don’t. Instead, we have a rainy season where the temperature hovers around 78-85 for about three months then heats up through summer before cooling off to 65-78 at the end of November through March. Generally, it’s reasonably moist but not wet, not hot and not cold, with a few potentially scorching days in mid-summer.

    What sort of strawberry variety would you recommend? I’m not really after a high yield of tangy berries, but I would like something that would grow sweet.

      Unfortunately for your situation, strawberries are temperate plants. I actually wouldn’t recommend you try growing them there as they likely will either die or do very poorly, unless they have a highly controlled environment in a greenhouse or other growing system. Good luck!
