Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if my Allstar plants get powdery mildew?

Powdery mildew shows up as a white, dusty coating on Allstar leaves, usually after humid spells. Remove the worst infected leaves, improve airflow by spacing plants (or thinning if crowded), and spray with a potassium bicarbonate product or neem early in the day and repeat per label timing. Avoid wetting foliage when watering, since Allstar mildew worsens when leaves stay damp.

How often should I water Allstar during its main growing phase?

During the peak growth period (roughly weeks 3–10), keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy—aim for about 1 inch of water per week depending on your soil and weather. Check by feel: water when the top 1 inch of soil is dry, then water deeply until the root zone is soaked. Inconsistent moisture can reduce Allstar fruit set and size.

How can I tell when Allstar is ready to harvest at 90 days?

Harvest when the fruit reaches its full color and size and easily detaches from the plant with a gentle twist, without needing to pull. If you’re unsure, taste one—Allstar is best when it tastes sweet and fully developed rather than bland or tight. Do a daily check as it approaches the 90-day mark because the window for peak flavor can be short.

Allstar strawberries burst with a vivid, sun-ripened sweetness and a bright, berry-forward aroma that practically perfumes the garden. The fruit is firm yet juicy, with a classic strawberry texture—tender interior, lightly glossy exterior, and a satisfying bite that holds up beautifully for fresh picking. Enjoy Allstar for peak-season eating, plus its richly flavored berries shine in homemade preserves and quick sauces when you want that unmistakable strawberry character.

Sowing Tips

Transplant Conditions

Wait until soil reaches 40°F and nights stay above 28°F before moving outdoors. Harden off for 7 days first.

Expert Note

For June-bearing strawberries, plant in full sun and ensure crowns are kept at soil level (not buried) to prevent rot.
