Nothing compares to the mouthwatering flavor of home-grown strawberries. 'Ozark Beauty' has a high yield of deep red, firm, wedge-shaped fruit with an appetizing aroma from late spring into fall. They freeze well and have a high dessert quality. This variety is resistant to leaf scorch and leaf spot. It will run freely if blossoms are removed.

Plant strawberries in early spring. Water them often through July. Do not plant them where tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, eggplant, or okra were planted the previous year. There is a disease that sometimes attacks these plants that will also attack strawberries. When planting, make sure that the roots are spread apart, and not tightly packed in a small hole. The plant will spread faster if the blossoms are removed so that more runners can be produced. The second year, allow the buds to stay so that fruit can be produced. Because strawberries have shallow roots, they should be fertilized during the growing season.
Container:
1 Quart (8 Count)
When to Plant:
Early to late spring
Finish:
1 Quart - 4-6 weeks
1 Gallon - 6-8 weeks
Notes:

Vernalization is beneficial but not required.
Pests & Diseases:
To avoid crown and root rots it is recommended to plant at crown level and avoid excess watering.
Potting & Timing:
Plant bare root plants with the crown slightly above the soil surface and top roots ¼ inch below. Plugs should be planted even with the soil line.

Moderate moisture.
Avoid watering late in the day so that foliage will be dry through the night.
Planting Level:
Crown slightly above soil surface with top roots ¼ inch below.

Grower Tips:
Avoid J-rooting by spreading the roots out evenly in the container. Roots may be trimmed lightly to fit the desired container.
Plant 2 PPP in 1 quart containers and 3 PPP in 1 gallon containers when using bare root. Baskets may require 5-7 PPP of either plugs or bare root.
