Great question! Yes, winter protection is really important for container-grown strawberries. If you’re in a colder area, it’s best to move the pots to a sheltered spot like an unheated garage or under a deck to help them survive the chill. If you’d rather leave them outside, make sure to insulate the pots well with mulch to protect the roots from freezing. Also, don’t forget to water them occasionally—just a little—when the soil gets really dry.
