Description

The strawberry is a perennial herbaceous plant that produces its highest yield in the second and third year of cultivation. There are over 1,000 different varieties, which differ in terms of growth habit, fruit shape, color and taste, as well as harvest time (June/September/continuous).

Non hybrid

Frostproof

Growing tips

To grow strawberries in the garden, you can either plant purchased young plants or take cuttings from existing plants. These are formed on long shoots, so-called stolons. The best planting time is July/August, so the plant has enough time to grow strong for a good harvest the following year. Propagation by seeds is also possible; these are located on the outside of the so-called aggregate nut fruit. During growth and in dry weather (especially during fruiting), strawberries need plenty of water. From May onwards, you can spread straw as mulch between the plants to protect them from moisture and gray mold and to keep weeds at bay.
