Cultivation Tips
• Soil requirements: Plant in well-drained, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Amend with compost before planting and avoid low areas where water may pool. A soil test can help optimize nutrient balance.
• Sunlight: Full sun (6–8+ hours daily) for best fruit quality and sweetness.
• Planting depth: Set plants so the crown sits just above the soil surface—not buried and not exposed.
• Spacing: Space plants about 12 inches apart to allow good airflow and easy harvesting.
• Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and keep soil evenly moist, especially during flowering and fruiting. Mulching helps conserve moisture and suppress weeds.
• Harvesting: Pick berries when fully red and firm. Harvest every few days during peak production.
• Landscape use: Excellent for garden beds, borders, containers, ground cover, and edible landscapes thanks to its compact size and attractive foliage.
