Shipping Information: Ships in March only while supplies last. Shipping is included and orders containing strawberries will automatically be split and shipped separately as soon as the product is available. Exceptions cannot be made.

Evie 2 is a day-neutral strawberry variety known for its extended harvest season and ability to produce fruit throughout much of the growing season. The plants are vigorous and productive, making them a good choice for home gardens where a steady supply of fresh berries is desired. Unlike June-bearing varieties that produce one concentrated crop, Evie 2 continues flowering and fruiting as long as temperatures remain favorable.

Evie 2 produces medium to large, bright red berries with a sweet, mild flavor and soft texture. The fruit is well suited for fresh eating, desserts, and home use. Its day-neutral habit allows for multiple harvests from spring through fall, rather than a single short picking window.

Evie 2 performs best in fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture and regular care. Like other day-neutral strawberries, production may slow during periods of extreme summer heat before resuming as temperatures cool. Its extended fruiting season makes it a rewarding addition to the home garden.

Growing Instructions: Bare root strawberry plants should be planted as soon as possible upon arrival. If they cannot be safely planted outdoors, plant them in a pot of soil indoors and water.

Once the soil is workable, dig a hole deep enough so the roots extend vertically and are not bent. Cover the plants with soil just below the crown (where the plant top meets the roots). The crown should be at soil surface, not buried. Avoid planting strawberries in an area where they were recently grown, or where crops in the tomato family (including eggplants, potatoes and peppers) have grown, as they may carry a root fungus.

Remove all blossoms 6-8 weeks after planting to improve yields. Clip off runners to keep the plants from getting too crowded.

Over the next few year, if you carefully cover your strawberry plants with straw or mulch, they will overwinter and come back the next year in most climates. You can also start fresh with new, disease-free planting stock. If growing in containers, replace the growth medium with fresh sterile medium, and replant with new plants.
