Strawberry 'San Andreas'

Try to plant in a location that enjoys full sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that San Andreas is thought of as hardy, so San Andreas will tend to go dormant or grow slowly over the winter months. San Andreas requires a loamy and clay soil with a ph of 5.0 - 7.5 - it grows best in moderately acidic soil to weakly alkaline soil.

Look to ensure a distance 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) between seeds when sowing - bury at a depth of at least 0.0 inches (0.0 cm) deep. 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 San Andreas is a hardy plant.
