Strawberry 'Elvira'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Elvira is thought of as hardy, so it can be safe to leave outdoors for the majority of winter (although if in doubt, using a row cover is often a good idea). Ideally plant in loamy and clay soil and try to keep the ph of your soil between the range of 5.5 and 7.5 as Elvira likes to be in weakly acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Aim to sow 0.0 inches (0.0 cm) deep and try to ensure a gap of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 20°C / 68°F to ensure good germination.

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as Elvira is a hardy plant.
