Highly flavorful, everbearing patio Strawberries rries with attractive
semi-double flowers create strong impulse sales. Quick and
easy production with day neutral flowering and fruiting means
immediate retail impact with both flowers and fruit. These
are shown off best in containers where fruit can trail over the
edges but also grow well in landscapes and will overwinter in
USDA zones 4 through 8.

GROWING TIPS
» Key factors in producing a high quality crop include attention to watering.
Strawberries do not tolerate wilting, so plants must be kept moist, though
not soggy.
» Avoid high production temperatures, plants should be kept below 80° F to
avoid a reduction in fruit quality.
» Keep on the look out for spider mites, especially when humidity is low in
the greenhouse. Make sure to spray underside of foliage as well as upper
surface of leaves.
