When to Plant Strawberries in Mississippi?

Strawberries grow best in the South in the fall and early winter. In Mississippi, plant your strawberry plants by late July through mid-August. The exact timing will depend on the weather and your location in the state. Plants set out by early August usually out yield and produce berries over a longer time in the spring than those set later in the fall. For best results, get your strawberry plants from a reputable nursery or garden center.
