Plant Overview Albion strawberries are a premium everbearing variety known for their exceptional sweetness and large, conical fruits. These berries produce consistently high yields throughout the growing season, from late spring until the first frost. Their firm texture and deep red color make them perfect for fresh eating, preserving, or cooking. Plant Information Latin Name: Fragaria x ananassa ‘Albion’ Common Name: Albion Everbearing Strawberry Watering Requirements: Moderate, consistent moisture Sun Exposure: Full sun Soil Conditions: Well-draining, rich organic soil, pH 6.0-6.8 Mature Plant Height: 8-12 inches Mature Plant Width: 12-18 inches Plant Care Maintain consistent soil moisture but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Remove runners unless propagating new plants. Apply balanced fertilizer monthly during the growing season. Remove dead or yellowing leaves regularly to improve air circulation. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and prevent fruit from touching soil. Winter protection may be necessary in colder regions. Planting Instructions Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 12-18 inches apart in rows 3-4 feet apart. Dig holes twice as wide as the root ball and at the same depth. Ensure crown (where stems meet roots) sits at soil level. Water thoroughly after planting and apply 2-3 inches of mulch. For container growing, use 12-inch pots with drainage holes and high-quality potting mix.
