About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
An everbearing variety that supplies you with fresh strawberries in several flushes from June until the frost. The medium sized, bright red fruits taste pleasantly sweet and juicy, perfect for snacking all summer long, less so for large scale preserving. Since it also sets flowers on its runners, it works beautifully in hanging baskets, pots and balcony boxes. Plan to replant the stock every two years, because the continuous harvest demands more of the plants.
Medium sized and juicy, mildly sweet with a fine acidity, a strawberry for the long snacking season.
