About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
This late English variety, ‚Florence’, extends your strawberry season when the early varieties are already finished. The large, dark red, firm fruit is aromatic and well stored. Its biggest plus is pronounced robustness: it shows high resistance to powdery mildew and root diseases, making it a low maintenance choice even for more difficult soils. Vigorous growth and winter hardiness allow it to reliably perform for several years.
You will find the fruit large, firm and dark red, balanced sweet and juicy, a reliable late variety for the season's end.
