Planting Tips
- This project is great any time of year, strawberries are perennial and can be planted in most any season. Expect blooms in spring and the largest crop of fruit in June; harvest season can be considerably longer based on weather and variety.
- Choose a full sun area of your garden to display your pot.
- Armstrong grown strawberry plants are available in a range of sizes. Our super-jumbo 6-packs, are great for planting jar-pockets, and 4-inch pots are well-suited to fill the top opening of your jar.
- Consider planting pollinator-attracting annuals at the top of your jar, like Alyssum, Marigolds, Zinnas, or more.
