Strawberry Sparkle Sparkle is a vigorous plant with many runners and a late season producer. Simply the most delicious strawberry available. It is also self-pollinating. One of the most important aspects of a healthy strawberry patch is location -- a minimum of six hours of sunlight a day. Healthy plants will produce an abundance of berries for three to four years, after which they should be replaced. Your strawberry bed should have good drainage and be well tilled with rich organic matter such as manure or compost to give your strawberry plants a good start, with amendments again in the spring. Keep your plants well watered until they are established (but don't overdo) and up to fruiting time. NOTE: When making a strawberry bed in an established garden, be sure to locate it away from any spot where you have grown peppers, tomatoes, eggplant or potatoes.
