They require moderate watering to keep the soil consistently moist. These plants grow quickly to a mature height of 6–12 inches and are suitable for USDA zones 4–9. The harvest season is early, making them ideal for fresh eating and desserts. When planting, position the crown just above soil level and mulch around the plants to retain moisture and keep the fruit clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant Condition Disclosure\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLive plants may be shipped dormant, leafless, recently pruned, bare root, or partially defoliated depending on season, weather, and shipping requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNatural variation in size, branching, foliage density, color, root structure, and overall appearance should be expected.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eImportant Note\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou will receive a live starter plant (seedling\/young plant).
