Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

Bare root arrives dormant

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Until then it can look lifeless, so you won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether it will grow.

About the Product

Fort Laramie is an exceptionally cold-hardy everbearing strawberry, known to survive temperatures of -30°F. It produces large, sweet berries and has excellent vigor.

Plants make plenty of runners, so a small planting quickly fills out into a productive bed. It is a good choice for northern gardens, containers and groundcover-style plantings.

What it looks like

White, five-petaled flowers with golden yellow centers appear in spring and again through summer. Leaves are medium green, divided into three rounded, toothed leaflets. Large, glossy bright red, conical berries with small yellow seeds form in several flushes. The plants form low clumps about 6 to 8 inches tall that send out many runners, spreading to about 3 feet.

Growing it with lavender

Strawberries enjoy full sun like lavender but want richer, more evenly moist soil, so grow them in a nearby raised bed or kitchen garden rather than among the lavender.

Care

Plant in full sun in fertile, well-drained soil with the crown level with the soil surface, and water regularly, especially while fruit is forming. Hardy in zones 4 to 8. Mulch with straw to keep berries clean, and renew beds every few years with young runner plants.

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

Bare-root strawberries are dormant crowns with long, dark roots and a few dry leaves. Keep cool and moist until planting. Fan roots out straight down, set the crown's middle at soil level, firm soil, and water well.

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. New leaves appear from the crown within a couple of weeks of spring planting. Established plants green up early in spring once winter straw is pulled back.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.

When to plant

Early spring once soil warms; potted plants after frost risk is past.

How deep

Set the middle of the crown exactly at the soil line: roots fully buried, growing tip uncovered. Too deep rots; too shallow dries out.

Spacing

18–24" apart in rows 3–4 ft apart (matted row); day-neutral types about 12" apart.

Soil

Loamy, rich in organic matter · pH 5.5–6.5

Fix-it tip: Get a soil test first. Work in compost; plant in raised rows or beds in heavy soil. Avoid spots where tomatoes, potatoes or peppers grew recently (shared root diseases).

Sun

Full sun (tolerates light shade, with less fruit).

Full sun gives the most and sweetest berries.

Don’t give up on it
