Bring it in, or cover it with a heavy towel if you can’t, remembering to take it off during the day when it warms up.

Strawberries (that are growing and producing, not dormant) don’t like nighttime temps any lower than 65 degrees, so 11 degrees will definitely damage and might even kill your plant!

Daytime temps MUST be above freezing, too. And they like full sun.

This little sucker has stayed green all winter. I forget what the variety is but it's an everbearing(or maybe an evergreen)

Was 11 degrees this morning. Had two inches of sleet a few weeks ago. Still green

Thank you! I brought them inside.

Put them out just now on snow but good sun.

Q: the tag says “everbearing”. Nothing about hardiness or annual/perennial. Are there any hardy strawberries? I’m in mtns
