Strawberry propagation
 

A few weeks ago I bought a couple of "past-it" strawberry plants (at a
discount) for propagation and fruiting next year. One was "Eros" and
the other "Honeoye".

Both have put on a good bit of growth, but whereas Eros has put out half
a dozen runners, Honeoye has none. I haven't grown strawberries before,
so don't know whether or not it is unusual for Honeoye to have no
runners at all.

Anyone else grow these varieties?

Also, I read somewhere that you should limit runners to two per plant.
Is there any reason for this? I am not concerned if the original plant
exhausts itself, as long as I get a few plants for next year.
