Strawberries are adaptable plants and grow throughout the United States. The secret is choosing a variety well-suited to your area, because some strawberries thrive in cold climates, while others prefer mild, warm weather. Plant container strawberries if the weather in your region is unpredictable.
Plant your strawberries in sandy, well-drained soil. Too much water can rot the crowns of strawberry plants. This will not only limit the fruiting, but this can cause the strawberry plants to die as well. Ensure your strawberries are planted in nutrient-dense soil. Strawberries grow best in slightly acid to neutral soil with a pH of approximately 5.5 to 7.0. If the soil is too acidic, you can add lime to raise the pH level. If the soil is too alkaline, add sulfur or compost to lower the pH. Add a one-inch layer of compost or rotted manure to sandy soil. Work composted leaves into clay soil. Ensure your strawberry plants are getting the right amount of water.
