Red stems and leaves on strawberry plants normal?

8 years ago

First year with trying to grow strawberries. My Loran strawberry plants have a lot of red stems and red leaves, is this normal for this type of strawberry? My other strawberry pot which has Ozark beauty strawberries mostly have green stems and leaves. Appreciate any help.

I bought a Junebearing strawberry plant (Sequoia variety) about a month ago. It's been growing well and the plant is pretty green. However, I've noticed that the leaves feel very stiff. I was wondering if this is normal. Thanks

Looks very much like Virginia Creeper. If it is, you may notice that older growth has a way of clinging to surfaces. Don't know if it's a tendril, a root, or something else. It grows out from the stem, very thin, and terminates in little flattened "pads" that grip wood or concrete block. (I've seen it there. Probably grips other surfaces too.)

The color "problem" with the stems would bother me but the change in color would not necessarily bother me. Weather is one of the factors that triggers color changes so your plants, not being established yet, may just be tardy this year.
