Notes
'Earliglow' strawberry (Fragaria ananassa 'Earliglow') is a fruit for food gardens, containers, and ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, loamy or clay soil. Deer tend to pass it by. It spreads 12 to 24 inches with a creeping habit and stays evergreen. Pink flowers open in spring and again in summer, and they draw bees.
Pairs well with Borage, Lettuce, and Thai basil.
