Grow Strawberry 'White Carolina' (pineberry) for a fun twist on the classic berry patch. This low, spreading strawberry is known for pale to white fruit with red seeds and a sweet, tropical-leaning flavor. In full sun, plants stay compact (about 8-12 inches tall) while sending runners that help them fill in and expand your planting over time.

Site your plants in a spot with 6+ hours of sun and soil that drains well. Amend the bed with compost for consistent moisture and fertility, and keep weeds down so the crowns are not crowded. Water regularly, especially during establishment and while flowering and fruiting, aiming to keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy.

To plant, set crowns so the growing point sits at soil level (not buried). Space plants so air can move through the foliage and reduce disease pressure. As the season progresses, you can guide runners into open spaces if you want a fuller patch, or remove some runners to focus energy on fruiting. Strawberries are shallow rooted, so a light mulch can help conserve moisture and keep berries cleaner.

For best harvests, pick fruit when it has fully developed its characteristic light color and aromatic sweetness. If you are growing in containers, choose a pot with drainage, use a quality mix, and water more often than in-ground beds since pots dry faster.
